As a kid I never liked honey, not because of the taste, but rather by how it is produced (if you don't know, don't ask). As I grew older, I realized that it doesn't matter how it is made, but how it tastes! I love honey now and try to use it in as many things as I can because it is so healthy, from peanut butter sandwiches to baked green beans! Wait, what? Green beans? That's right! I developed the honey green bean recipe on a whim, and it's really good, so here you go!
Prep time - 20 minutes
Cook time - 15 - 20 minutes
Serves 4 (as a side dish)
Main Ingredients:
- 1/2 pound of green beans
- Olive oil
- 3 tbsp's of honey
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Optional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare green beans by washing and cutting off the ends. When done, steam al dente (cooked yet still firm). Once steamed, throw green beans into a large bowl and add olive oil to coat, mixing until thoroughly coated. Add some parmesan cheese, honey, salt, and pepper and mix again, making sure all the beans are well coated. Spray down a small glass bread dish with cooking spray and add green beans. Top with breadcrumbs and bake in oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove when finished, serve and enjoy!
The finished, delicious product
These green beans are great to round out a meal filled with savory, thick dishes like mashed potatoes and turkey. The honey really comes through and will refresh your palate for your next bite.
Enjoy and stayed tuned next week for future posts!
