Increase oven temp to 400degF.
Wrap 8 to 10 green beans in each parcooked piece of bacon. Return to baking sheet with the end flap on the bottom. Repeat with remaining bacon.
Add garlic, salt and red pepper flakes to melted butter. Spoon over each bundle.
Return to oven and bake another 20 minutes. Let rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to serving plate.
