Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs. fresh green beans
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider
or white vinegar
1 tablespoon instant minced onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter, melted
paprika
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°
F.
Trim beans to 1 to 1 1/2-inch pieces and
rinse. Cook beans until crisp-tender (about 15
minutes). (Note: Steaming beans with a
vegetable steamer
is recommended for best results, though you
can also gently boil beans in water).
While beans are cooking, in a medium
mixing bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, minced
onion, salt, garlic and pepper. Set aside. In a
separate small mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs,
Parmesan cheese and butter and stir until blended.
Set aside.
As soon as beans
are crisp-tender to the bite (be careful not
to overcook, because beans will cook more in the
oven), transfer to a
large mixing bowl. Add oil and vinegar mixture to
beans and toss until evenly coated. Pour beans into
an ungreased 1-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle bread
crumb mixture evenly over top of beans. Lightly
sprinkle over all with paprika. Bake uncovered for
15-20 minutes or until heated through. |
