Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and trim the green beans. Chop the onion and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Bacon

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from skillet and chop into small pieces. Leave the bacon grease in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onion

    In the same skillet with the bacon grease, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

  4. 4

    Combine and Season

    Add the green beans to the skillet with the onion. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Smoke the Beans

    If using a smoker, transfer the mixture to a smoker basket and smoke over medium heat for about 30 minutes. If using an oven, place the mixture on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Once the beans are tender and slightly charred, remove from heat, stir in the chopped bacon, and serve warm.
