Green Beans and Toasted Pine Nuts

Ingredients

16 oz green beans

1/2 cup pine nuts

pepper

sprinkle of Italian herb seasoning: rosemary, thyme, oregano

2 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Toast the pine nuts on medium heat. You will start to smell the warm nutty aroma. Make sure you do not burn them. Once toasted, set aside.

Wash and rinse your green beans. Chop the ends of the green beans off. A quick and easy trick is to line up the ends to your knife, and then chop the ends off all at once.

Add the green beans to a deep pan with 1/2 cup of water.

Steam the green beans until tender, for about 5-6 minutes.

Once ready, place them in the serving dish. Sprinkle the Italian herb seasoning and pepper evenly over the top. Drizzle with olive oil and toss the green beans so that they are all dressed well.

Then top with the toasted pine nuts. Serve warm.
