Description
Crisp green beans are baked with sweet cranberries, crunchy almond slivers, and a delicious honey balsamic glaze. This quick and easy side dish is perfect for holidays, dinner parties, or any meal that needs a flavorful, vibrant touch.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup almond slivers
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Place the green beans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the sauce over the beans and toss to coat evenly. Scatter the cranberries and almond slivers over the top.
- Bake for 15-25 minutes (depending on the thickness of the beans), or until the green beans are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from the oven, toss to coat in the sauce, and serve warm. The honey-balsamic glaze adds a delightful sweetness that complements the cranberries and balances the toasty almond flavor.
