Directions: Green Beans With Pecans And Date Syrup Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
  • STEP 2.In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  • To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned.
  • If you don't have date syrup, you can substitute it with maple syrup or honey for a slightly different flavor profile.
  • For added freshness, squeeze a little lemon juice over the green beans before serving.
