Bacon wrappes green beans

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10-15 minutes
Total Time: 25-30 minutes
Servings: 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 lb fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
• 6-8 slices bacon, cut in half
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Garlic powder (optional)
• Toothpicks, soaked in water for 10 minutes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Green Beans:
   • Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim off the stems. Pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Wrap with Bacon:
   • Take a small bundle of green beans, about 6-8 beans, and wrap half a slice of bacon around the center. Secure the ends of the bacon with toothpicks if needed.
   • Repeat with the remaining green beans and bacon slices.
3. Season:
   • Drizzle olive oil over the bacon-wrapped green beans and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired. Toss gently to coat.
4. Preheat the Blackstone Griddle:
   • Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
5. Cook on the Griddle:
   • Carefully place the bacon-wrapped green beans on the preheated griddle in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
   • Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the bacon is crispy and the green beans are tender, with a slight char.
6. Serve:
   • Once cooked, transfer the bacon-wrapped green beans to a serving platter.
   • Remove the toothpicks before serving.
   • Serve hot and enjoy as a delicious appetizer or side dish!
7. Note:
   • Soaking toothpicks in water helps prevent them from burning on the griddle.
   • You can customize this recipe by adding your favorite seasonings or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
