Don’t rush to shake the pan and toss the green beans before they blister; they need a little time to char.

Ingredients

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons white miso
1 tablespoon coconut or agave nectar
3 tablespoons virgin coconut oil
1 1/2 pounds haricots verts or green beans, trimmed
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Flaky sea salt, freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup coarsely chopped cilantro

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Mix garlic, lime juice, miso, and coconut nectar in a small bowl to combine. Set garlic mixture aside.

    Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add green beans and cook, undisturbed, until beginning to blister, about 2 minutes. Toss and continue to cook, tossing often, until tender and blistered in spots, 8–12 minutes.

    Step 3

    Remove skillet from heat, pour in garlic mixture, and toss green beans to coat. Add red pepper flakes; season with sea salt and black pepper. Transfer to a platter and top with cilantro.

  • This was delicious! Used washed, pre-trimmed beans from Costco and the whole thing came together in about 15 min. So easy and good, it will definitely make another appearance on our dinner table soon.

  • My family did not like this - too sweet and too tart.

  • Fantastic, delicious side dish. I added mushrooms because I had them on hand. The whole dish was easy and fast to prepare. A definite repeat!

  • Wow! I made these exactly per the recipe the other night, and what a hit with the hubby! I also used the few that were left over cold in a romaine salad with a lime and miso vinaigrette. So good!
