Roasted Green Beans with Shallots & Walnuts
Fresh green beans, tossed in olive oil, seasoning and roasted with shallots and walnuts.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh green beans
- 2 large shallots, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup walnut halves
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. Himalayan pink salt or your favorite salt
- 1 tbsp. ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp. lemon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Rinse green beans in a colander. Shake dry and lay out on paper towels to soak up any excess moisture.
- Snip the tips off each end with kitchen sheers. You can leave the beans whole or cut them in half if they are too long.
- Now is a great time to blanch the beans for 45 seconds in boiling water to bring out a vibrant green color! Drain immediately and soak in a bowl of ice water until completley cool. Drain again before tossing the beans in the olive oil and seasoning.
- Peel and cut shallots into eighths, lengthwise
- Toss green beans, shallots, and walnuts in olive oil. Season with salt, pepper and lemon pepper. Toss to make sure all beans, shallots and walnuts are oiled and seasoned.
- Roast beans for approximately 10 minutes, or until beans are al dente and shallots are beginning to brown. Serve hot.
