This recipe provides a fun new way to enjoy green beans. They are cooked to be tender crisp, while providing crunch and flavor. The Vegan Parmesan is for those on the standard or vegan/vegetarian plan and the Parmesan cheese option is for maintenance.

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 oz. fresh green beans (already bagged are in the refrigerated produce section)
  • 1 large pastured egg
  • 2/3 cup Vegan Parmesan (Genesis recipe) or Parmesan Cheese (Maintenance only)
  • 1/2 tsp. pink Himalayan salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. paprika
  • 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Make sure the green beans are dry and that the ends are snipped.
  2. Combine the grated Parmesan or Vegan Parmesan with the seasonings on a shallow plate, making sure they are evenly dispersed.
  3. Whisk an egg in a bowl large enough to drench a handful of green beans at a time. After coating, let the excess egg drip off for a few seconds.
  4. Gently press the green beans into the Parmesan cheese mixture to coat them. You will want to use one hand to drench the beans and the other hand to coat them.
  5. Place green beans onto a large greased baking sheet or onto parchment paper, leaving room between each bean to crisp. Bake until lightly golden for 12-14 minutes.
