These green beans are crispy on the outside and tender, but still, have a bit crunch on the inside. Another idea for Thanksgiving dinner side dish.
Crispy Sautéed Green Beans with Pumpkin Seeds, Hemp Seeds & Lemon
Ingredients
- 1 lb. fresh green beans, cleaned and rinsed
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 Tbsp. breadcrumbs
- 1 Tbsp. ground Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3 tbsp. pumpkin seeds, toasted
- 1 tbsp. hemp seeds
- lemon zest from one lemon
- 4 Tbsp. olive oil
Instructions
1
In a deep plate, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2
Dip the green beans in a beaten egg and then in flour mixture.
3
Sauté breaded green beans (in small batches so you don't crowd them) in heated olive oil until golden and crisp.
4
Place the cooked beans on a serving plate, top with pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds.
5
Sprinkle with lemon zest and serve immediately.

November 26, 2013 at 6:14 pmWe don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia…we had no pilgrims or turkeys to speak of and having a bbq with witchetty grubs with our Aboriginal mates isn't quite on the same scale as what you guys do ;). Lovely recipe and thanks for the share 🙂
