Ingredients
- 1½ pounds green beans, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 teaspoons honey, or maple syrup to make it vegan
- Salt and pepper
- 1½ tablespoon white balsamic vinegar (or fresh lemon juice*)
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup chiffonade basil
- ¼ cup toasted pine nuts
- Parmesan or aged white Cheddar, peeled into large shreds
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F (218ºC) with rack set in lowest position.
- Toss beans with 1½ tablespoon oil, 2 teaspoons honey, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper until evenly coated; arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Tightly cover baking sheet with foil and roast 10 minutes. Remove foil and roast until beans are tender and start to brown, about 12 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Meanwhile, whisk remaining 1½ tablespoons oil, 1½ tablespoons white balsamic, 2 grated cloves garlic, and 2 teaspoons Dijon together in a large bowl; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Immediately transfer beans to bowl with oil-garlic mixture and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a serving dish and top with ¼ cup basil, ¼ cup pine nuts and cheese.
Notes
If you opt for lemon juice instead of white balsamic, start with 1 tablespoon of juice and adjust as needed. I also like to add grated lemon zest if I'm using juice.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
