Blanch green beans in salted boiling water for 3 minutes.

Plunge green beans into an ice bath to stop cooking and preserve color.

Place green beans on a paper towel lined plate to absorb moisture.

In a small bowl, mix together butter, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and herb seasoning.

Cut bacon slices in half.

Take a handful of green beans (about 4 or 5) and place them on one edge of a half slice of bacon, then roll them up, seam side down on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Spoon the prepared sauce over the bundles.

Place the bundles in a 400°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes.

Halfway through cooking, pull them out and brush the bacon with the glaze to help caramelize it.

Return the bundles to the oven for the remainder of the cooking time.
