    • Roasted Balsamic Green Beans

    Why this Recipe Works

    This quick and easy recipe is perfect for large gatherings or even weeknight dinners. They are a great side dish hot, but they can also be eaten cold on top of lettuce for a bright and colorful salad. My kids love them, and they are vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.

    Ingredients

    green beans. cherry tomatoes, red onion, apple honey, balsamic vinegar, garlic and almonds

    Green beans: For the best texture use only fresh green beans, canned or frozen green beans don’t retain their texture when roasting them. Roasted fresh green beans are tender on the inside, but not mushy and that’s exactly what we want.

    Balsamic vinegar:  I use my favorite Primal Kitchen Balsamic Vinegar of Modena which is a PGI certified, high-quality Italian balsamic vinegar. It is also USDA organic, Whole30 approved, Certified Paleo. Use the code DORAPRIMAL to get a 10% discount at check out.

    Almonds: I used slivered almonds, but this can also be made with walnuts or hazelnuts.

    Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I use Primal Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil which is certified organic, non-GMO, and NAOAA certified for quality and purity. Use the code DORAPRIMAL to get a 10% discount at check out.

    Expert tips and tricks

    To shorten prep time, buy already trimmed green beans. Trimmed green beans are easy to use, and they will save you some time, especially if you’re cooking for a large crowd. You can also make them in the air fryer! Follow the same steps, except you want to air fry at 400°F.

    Serving

    Serve hot immediately or let cool, and serve with spring lettuce mix as a salad. You can keep them warm for up to 30 minutes in a 200°F oven. They pair perfectly with these creamy vegan mashed potatoes.

    Storing

    Store in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or pop them back in the oven at 350°F for 6-7 minutes.
