Thanksgiving Green Beans
Ingredients
- 1 lb organic french green beans
- 2 tbsp olive oil (I love Kasandrinos)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
- 1.5 tsp pure maple syrup
Serving Options
- toasted chopped nuts
- parsley
- fresh lemon
- pomegranate seeds
- crispy shallots
Instructions
- In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl and lightly smoke, add in the green beans. Allow to blister on one side, then toss around to blister some more. Add the kosher salt and some fresh cracked pepper. This should take about 4 to 5 minutes total.
- Finish the green beans by tossing with 1.5 teaspoons of pure organic maple syrup.
- Garnish with toasted chopped almonds or pecans, parsley, pomegranate seeds, crispy shallots and a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Notes
To make your own version of crispy shallots, simply peel the shallots and slice into very thin rounds. Sauté in olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 5 minutes until golden brown.
