Ingredients

  • 3 strips thick-cut bacon I used peppered bacon
  • 12 ounces fresh green beans
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt to taste
  • 1/3 cup pomegranate arils

Instructions

  • Heat a cast iron (or regular non-stick) skillet to medium-high and place the strips of bacon on the hot surface. Cook, turning every couple of minutes, until bacon has reached desired level of crisp. Transfer bacon to a cutting board (leaving the fat drippings in the skillet), and chop the bacon.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the green beans to the skillet with the bacon drippings, stir well, and season with sea salt. Cover and cook 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until green beans have reached desired done-ness.
  • Transfer green beans to a serving dish and sprinkle the chopped bacon and pomegranate seeds on top. Serve alongside your favorite entrees.
