Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Blanch the Green Beans: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again and pat dry.
Prepare the Bacon: Cut each slice of bacon in half to make 16 shorter slices.
Wrap the Bundles: Gather 6-8 green beans into a bundle and wrap one half-slice of bacon around the middle. Secure with a toothpick if needed and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining beans and bacon.
Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Brush and Bake: Brush the glaze generously over the bundles. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the bacon is crisp and cooked through.
Serve: Remove the bundles from the oven, discard any toothpicks, and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle the bundles with a pinch of red pepper flakes before baking.
You can prepare the bundles and glaze ahead of time, then bake just before serving.
