Can you make them ahead of time?
These bean bundles are best to serve as soon as you’ve made them so that the bacon is nice and crispy. You can wrap the beans in the bacon a couple of hours before you want to cook them, so you just need top pop them in the oven to serve.
Why do you need to place them in iced water?
This is a crucial step when cooking these beans. Placing them in ice water stops the cooking process so that they don’t get too soft and still have a nice bite to them. It also helps to keep them a vibrant green color. If you make this recipe be sure to upload a photo in the comment section below or leave a rating. Enjoy! You can also jump to recipe.
