Scale
Ingredients
- 1 pound thick cut bacon, diced
- 1 large yellow onion, sliced thin
- 2 1/2 pounds frozen cut green beans
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Take the green beans out of the freezer to defrost slightly while the oven is preheating.
- Place the diced bacon on a large sheet pan in a single layer. Cook for 8 minutes, tossing and spreading back in a single layer in between cooking. The bacon won’t be completely done, we’re just giving it a head start so that’s it’s crispy when the beans are finished. Don’t drain the bacon grease from the sheet pan as we are using that to flavor and cook the green beans.
- Add the sliced onion and the green beans to the sheet pan and season with the salt, garlic powder and pepper. Toss and spread into an even layer.
- Cook for 20 minutes and then remove the pan from the oven. Toss again and spread into an even layer. Place the sheet pan back into the oven for another 20 minutes until the beans are roasted and caramelized.
Recipe Notes
Store: Store leftover green beans in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Reheat leftovers in the microwave for the fastest method. Reheating the beans back in the oven will help to crisp the bacon up again.
