Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the onion, cut it in half lengthwise, and slice into thin half-moons.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly into slivers.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, onion slices, and garlic slivers. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss everything together to coat evenly.
Spread the green bean mixture evenly onto a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time.
While the green beans are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the pecan halves to the skillet and toast them for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and slightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
After 15 minutes of roasting, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add the toasted pecans to the green bean mixture and toss gently to combine.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy!
