Here is a nice-looking superhero recipe for any time of year! I got this from Bita Hunt, a macro chef/nutritionist in New York. I haven't tested it yet, but it sounds super simple and yum!

Roasted Green Beans with Shallots

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. Green beans
  • 1 Shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Sea salt to taste

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 450F
  2. Toss beans and shallots with oil
  3. Arrange on foil lined baking sheet
  4. Sprinkle with salt
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until beans are blistered and tender. Serve immediately.

What's your favorite way to eat green beans?

      Meant to say, would have tried them cold next day as suggested by Joy, but scoffed the lot. Next time...

      Just made these and YES they ARE yum! Was not a big fan of green beans before, but can see me having these night after night. So much better and flavoursome than on their own. These would impress if you had folk over, and sooo simple! Thanks Alicia.

      My go to is simple garlic green beans. I just boil them, drain them, then mix in a bit of olive oil and a lot of minced garlic. It's a favorite of mine and anyone I've made it for :)

      I just made green beans the other night! I boiled them for a couple mins then sauteed them on low/med heat in olive oil with some chopped up serano peppers, black pepper and finished them with a store bought sweet/spicy garlic sauce. It turned out awesome and my husband loved it!

      I found a great recipe this past holiday season. I've always made the green bean casserole, but this year I made it vegan. I'm the only veggie at the dinner table, but EVERYONE loved the green beans!


      I posted the recipe if anyone wants to check it out.

      My kids love it when I steam French green beans and then quickly sautee them afterwards with a tiny bit of Earth Balance and Simply Organic garlic salt...they call them the french fries of green veggies. They are always very happy to eat their veggies when I make these.

      I steam mine and cover them with a little marinara sauce. If I feel like being fancy I'll wrap them inside some thinly sliced eggplant rolled up and roast them with some other veggies and whatever sauce I happen to be in the mood for that evening. Occasionally I dice them up relatively small and toss them in with black beans and some mexican spices to toss in my tacos to replace the meat.

      Brooks,


      I too, make a mean concoction of green beans (first steamed briefly in microwave to make tender), then fried stovetop w/cut up regular onion & slivered almonds added also. For variation, sometimes I fry up a handful of sliced mushrooms in another skillet--then combine dishes when both are done.


      Dunno how different a shallot would taste as opposed to the regular [cheap] onion I use!?!

      I have been on a huge green bean kick lately, I've just been sauteeing them with a little olive oil and salt and then putting toasted slivered almonds on top. Love the idea of adding the shallot! YUM.
