Return the frypan to the heat and add the green beans and spring onion. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes until the green beans are tender and slightly golden.

Transfer to a platter. Season generously with black pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Roughly chop the pumpkin seeds. Top the platter with the chopped pumpkin seeds, crispy bacon and extra lemon wedges. Serve warm.
