Scale
Ingredients
- 30 stalks fresh green beans
- 12 slices uncured bacon
Instructions
- Trim the green beans: Wash the fresh green beans thoroughly, pat them dry with a clean towel, and trim off the ends to prepare them for wrapping.
- Wrap in bacon: Take 2-3 green bean stalks and wrap a slice of uncured bacon tightly around the bundle, ensuring the beans are securely held together.
- Arrange in air fryer: Place the bacon-wrapped green bean bundles seam side down in a single layer within the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding by cooking in batches if necessary.
- Air fry until crispy: Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is fully cooked and crispy, turning halfway if needed for even cooking.
Notes
- Ensure the green beans are dry before wrapping to help the bacon crisp up better.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow hot air to circulate and cook the bundles evenly.
- If you prefer extra crispy bacon, you can increase cooking time by a couple of minutes, but keep an eye to avoid burning.
- This recipe works well as a party appetizer or a savory side for dinner.
