Zesty Bacon-Topped Green Beans
Ingredients
  • 2 (12-16 oz.) bag of fresh green beans (steamer type works well, not frozen but fresh)
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 T. minced garlic
  • 3 large shallots, minced
  • 1 T. dried Italian seasoning blend
  • 2 T. lemon zest
  • ½ c. fresh lemon juice
  • ½ c. real bacon bits (not imitation)
  • Salt, black pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Follow directions to steam green beans in microwave. I like to undercook mine because you will cook them a little more when heating. I usually cut off 45 seconds to 1 minute of what is called for on the bag.
  2. In a medium skillet, drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Saute the garlic and shallots.
  4. Add the Italian seasoning, zest and lemon juice. Mix well.
  5. In a 13x9” baking dish, combine the green beans with the mixture from the skillet.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper.
  7. Sprinkle with the bacon bits. If you want more or less, you can make that choice.
  8. When ready to serve, heat in 350 oven until hot.
