Place the bacon between paper towels and microwave for 60 seconds on high. Cool the bacon and chop or crumble it up.
Place the green beans in a bowl and drizzle them with EVOO, salt and pepper. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave the green beans on high for 5 minutes; stir and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove the wrap and top the green beans with crumbled bacon.
