Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) to ensure it’s nice and hot for roasting the green beans to perfection. |
| 2 | Prepare Green Beans: Start by thoroughly washing the fresh green beans under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. |
| 3 | Trim Ends: Snap off the ends of the green beans and discard them. This step ensures that you’re left with the tender, edible parts for roasting. |
| 4 | Cut Beans: Cut the green beans into manageable 1 1/2-inch long pieces using a sharp knife. This size ensures they cook evenly and are easy to eat. |
| 5 | Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 1-quart baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the beans from sticking during roasting. |
| 6 | Season Beans: Place the prepared green beans evenly in the baking dish. Sprinkle them with salt, pepper, and the aromatic onion powder for a burst of flavor in every bite. |
| 7 | Add Bacon: Scatter the diced bacon over the green beans, distributing it evenly to ensure each bean gets a taste of that delicious bacon goodness. |
| 8 | Pour Broth: Carefully pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the green beans and bacon, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully during roasting. |
| 9 | Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil or a lid to trap the steam and moisture, then place it in the preheated oven. Roast the green beans for about 30 minutes or until they are tender and the liquid has evaporated, leaving behind intensely flavored beans. |
| 10 | Check and Adjust: During the cooking process, check the dish once or twice to ensure that the beans are not drying out excessively. If needed, add a splash more broth to keep them moist and succulent as they roast. |
| 11 | Serve and Enjoy: Once the beans are tender and beautifully roasted, remove them from the oven and serve them hot as a delightful side dish that perfectly complements any meal. Enjoy the irresistible combination of crispy bacon and tender green beans! |
