Dreena's Lemon-Broiled Green Beans
- serves 2-3 -
Adapted from Eat, Drink & Be Vegan by Dreena Burton. This recipe was featured in a Vegan Thanksgiving Menu.
Ingredients
1/4 pound green beans, ends trimmed *
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/16 teaspoon sea salt
Ground black pepper to taste
Procedure
1. Set toaster oven or regular oven to broil. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Add beans and toss with oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
2. Broil for 7-11 minutes, tossing once or twice, until beans blister and are tender. Serve immediately.
* Author's Note: Instead of green beans, you can use yellow wax beans or dragon tongue beans, which may be purchased in whole foods stores or at farmers' markets. Dragon tongue beans have a flat shape and light yellow base with purplish streaks. You may also substitute with asparagus; be sure to adjust cooking time accordingly to cook until just tender and retaining fresh green color.

This sounds great. I love lemon juice on green vegetables.
