How to prepare green beans
- Trim the tip ends of the green beans (Skip if use French petite green beans)
- Hot water blanch the green beans about 2-3 minutes then plunge them in cold water to stop cooking
- Pat dry then season the green beans with salt, pepper, and olive oil
- Either enjoy the green beans as salads or lightly sauté or oven roast them.
How to wrap the green bean bundles with bacon
Personally I prefer using turkey bacon because the shape makes it easier to wrap the green beans.
- Lightly pan fry the bacon strips until they are just beginning to brown but still very pliable.
- Stash a small bunch of petite green beans (about 5-6) onto the bacon strip and roll up into a bundle. Tuck the end of the bacon strip underneath.
- Use small toothpicks to help secure the bacon if it’s hard to tuck the end of the bacon strip underneath.

Paleo Bacon Wrapped Green Bean Bundles
Video
Ingredients
- 12 oz turkey or pork bacon, , alt. any sugar and nitrate free bacon
- 1 lb fresh French petite green beans, , tip ends trimmed if necessary (alt. Regular green beans or thin speared asparagus)
- ¼ tsp coarse sea salt
- ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Aged balsamic vinegar, , garnish
- Half one whole lemon juice, , serving on the side
Possible tool:
- Small toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (for regular oven) 325°F (for convection oven). Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment.
- Bring a large pot of water about 2 liters to boil. Quick blanch the trimmed green beans for about 2-3 minutes. Plunge them into the ice water to stop the cooking and set the color. Once they are cool to touch, drain the beans and pat dry on a cloth or paper towel.
- In the meantime, pan fry the bacons in batches until the slices are just beginning to brown along the edges but are still very pliable, 1 to 2 minutes per side depending on the thickness. You don’t want them to crisp up or it will be hard to wrap the beans. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool. Cut strips in half lengthwise.
- In a large bowl, lightly toss the green beans with salt, pepper, and olive oil. Stash a small bunch of petite green beans (about 5-6) onto the bacon strip and roll up into a bundle. Tuck the end of the bacon strip underneath.
- Place the bundle into the sheet pan, seam side down. Repeat with remaining bacon strips and green beans and leave a little space between each bundle. Bake for about 8-10 mins in the middle rack until the bacon is browned and crispy.
- Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar & Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Made these for Thanksgiving dinner and then again a few days later. They were a hit! Thanks so much for the recipe. 🙂
Thanks so much for taking the time to share with us, Jennifer. I’m so happy to hear you and the family had a lovely thanksgiving gathering and enjoy the meals together. Best wishes for the holiday season!
Yes, these are a must! You had me at bacon, but balsamic sealed the deal!
These are perfect for the upcoming holidays. Definitely adding them to the menu. YUM! Thanks for the super easy recipe.
These will be perfect for Thanksgiving! My husband will love them.
So, funny story… my husband’s family makes bacon-wrapped green beans during the holidays… using canned green beans. Everyone raves over them, but I won’t touch them because canned green beans look SO gross/grey. Your version is EXACTLY the one I WILL eat!
Ha ! That’s so funny ! Fresh ones are definitely better for sure!
You had me at bacon and anything green- yum!
Do these ever look tasty!! What an awesome side dish and a great way to jazz up the green bean!
These are so pretty (as always) and perfect for Thanksgiving! Saving these to try!
This is such a great idea!!! I love how easy it is too. This would be a perfect side dish for holiday tables.
These would look great on my Thanksgiving table. Pretty and tasty!
Thank you, Kelly!
