I still had some leftover hericot verts in my fridge so I needed one more recipe to try to use up these delicious little beans. I pretty much love any veggie roasted in olive oil, so I was happy to try this roasted shallot hericot vert recipe. Shallots are one ingredient that I do not use often, and have never eaten them roasted, so I was excited to try this.
I think I need to start buying shallots more often. These were delicious roasted, and I loved them with the green beans! Great recipe!
2
lbs. haricots verts or slender green beans, washed and trimmed
1 lb. shallots, peeled and cut lengthwise to the root end
6 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray a cooking sheet with Pam or other nonstick spray.
1 lb. shallots, peeled and cut lengthwise to the root end
6 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray a cooking sheet with Pam or other nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, toss the shallots with 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil, salt,
and pepper. Spread the seasoned onions evenly over the prepared cookie sheet. Roast until golden and tender, stirring
about every 8 minutes, about 18-20 minutes total cooking time.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Blanch the green beans
for 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. Working quickly, drain in a large
colander and then transfer the beans to an ice water bath to stop the cooking
process. Drain again and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large sauté pan, heat the remaining 4 Tablespoons of olive oil over
medium-high flame. Toss in the roasted shallots and blanched beans, tossing until thoroughly
coated with the oil. Stirring frequently, sauté until heated through, about 3
or 4 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot
