Green Beans with Parmesan Garlic Breadcrumbs

Yields: 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 12 ounce frozen whole green beans, I use the steam fresh bags
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves minced garlic, or use 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1/2 tsp sea or kosher salt

Directions:

  1. Steam green beans half the time of package. Set aside.
  2. In a large non stick pan cook butter and oil over low to medium heat. Add garlic. Stir until you smell the garlic and the butter mixture is starting to brown slightly. Add in bread crumbs and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir for about 3 minutes or until the bread crumbs start to brown and look crispy.
  3. Toss in the beans. If there is any water in the package that’s fine. You can drain some of the water before adding into pan. Add in pepper and salt. Toss until the beans are coated with the breadcrumb mixture. Let the beans pick up some color, they may start to brown. That’s what you want. This only takes a few minutes.
  4. Plate up and sprinkle the remaining cheese. A new delicious side dish, Enjoy!
