How to make Maple Bacon Green Beans

Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for about 6-10 minutes until they are tender-crisp.

Once the green beans are done, immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and help retain their bright green color.

In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crispy.

Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Cook the onion in the bacon grease until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add the maple syrup, bacon and green beans to pan, stir to combine.

Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are cooked to your desired level of tenderness and have a nice caramelized glaze from the maple syrup. Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the Maple Bacon Green Beans as a delicious side dish to complement your meal.
