Roasted Pecan Green Beans (LC)
From: Craig @ www.ruled.me/
The savory notes of the olive oil add flavor, but also allow for the green beans to roast properly (without burning). The earthy and nutty flavors of the pecans have always been a delicious combination with vegetables, and if you’ve never tried it before, then you’re in for a real treat! Not to mention the lemon and red pepper flakes adding just enough of a fresh acidic note and slight spicy note.
I had originally made these to serve with the recipe I posted yesterday, the London Broil – which worked very well together. But, you can pretty much pair these with any meat and they’ll taste great!
If you try them (and I am really urging you to), let me know what you think!
Yields 4 Servings
Ingredients:
1 lb. Green Beans
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
1/2 Cup Chopped Pecans
1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
1 Lemon’s Zest
2 tsp. Minced Garlic
1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450F, then add 1/4 Cup Pecans to your food processor.
2. Grind the pecans in the food processor until they are chopped nicely. Some pieces should be large, some small.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix together green beans, pecans, olive oil, parmesan cheese, the zest of 1 lemon, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.
4. Spread out the green beans on a foiled baking sheet.
5. Roast the green beans in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
6. Let cool for 4-5 minutes, then serve!
