Trim the ends of the green beans, wash, and set to one side.
Peel the carrots and cut into matchsticks - a similar length to the green beans.
Place several ice cubes in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Set to one side.
Place a pot of salted water on the stovetop on a high heat.
Once boiling, place the carrots and green beans in the water.
Bring the water back to a boil, and cook the veggies for 3 minutes.
Drain the vegetables to the water and quickly place in the bowl of iced water. Leave for 5 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400F / 200c.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
Once the veggies are cooled, pat them dry with kitchen paper.
Lay a chive on a flat surface and place a couple of carrot sticks and 3 or 4 green beans in the middle of the chive.
Tie the chive around the veggies, do a double know to secure. Place on the baking sheet.
Repeat with the rest of the vegetables.
Spray the bundles with a little oil and sprinkle over salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
Place the baking tray with the bundles in the preheated oven for 15 minutes and serve.

Don't skip or hurry the blanching. Your veggies will stay super colorful this way.

The chives are delicate, so be gentle when you are bundling the carrots and green beans. Don't pull the chives too tight all they'll break.
