Steps

01Divide the green beans into 8 bundles of roughly equal size (6 to 8 beans per bundle).
02Wrap one slice of bacon around each bundle, spiraling from one end to the other.
03Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and garlic powder. Brush over each bundle.
04Ready for the air fryer.

The brown sugar butter glaze caramelizes on the bacon and creates a sticky, sweet, salty crust around the beans. This is a Thanksgiving side dish that people make year-round once they've tried it. The beans steam inside the bacon wrapper and come out tender while the bacon crisps on the outside.
