Green Beans with Garlic Bread Crumbs
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb whole green beans, washed, trimmed and steamed
- ½ cup bread crumbs, (I like panko or fresh bread crumbs, but use whatever you like)
- 2 cloves garlic (or more), grated or finely minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- ¼ cup or more chopped fresh parsley (dried parsley will work, too)
- salt and pepper to taste
- parmesan cheese and/or lemon zest to taste
Instructions
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a medium skillet. Add red pepper flakes, if using.
- Add the garlic and cook briefly, stirring often to prevent burning. Add the bread crumbs and stir to mix well.
- Cook until the bread crumbs are a nice golden brown color. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese, lemon zest and parsley.
- Arrange the beans on a platter, drizzle with a little oil oil and top with the bread crumbs. Garnish with more cheese, lemon zest and parsley as desired.
