Quick Zesty Green Beans

SUBMITTED BY: USA WEEKEND columnist Jean Carper PHOTO BY: FOWLEROPOLIS

"Here's a change of pace: crispy stir-fried beans that are excellent as an appetizer or side dish. Green vegetables are rich in antioxidants and tied to lower risks for certain cancers."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 pound fresh string beans, stem ends removed
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon OLD BAY® Blackened Seasoning
  • 1/3 cup pecan pieces
  • Salt, to taste

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  2. Add green beans, return to a boil and cook 1 minute; the beans should still be crisp. Drain the beans; don't rinse.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, add oil. Heat until very hot (the skillet is ready when a drop of water in the oil sizzles). Add beans and cook about 1 minute, turning often with tongs or spatula. Sprinkle on pecans and Old Bay. Turn the beans and pecans to coat with oil and spices; cook about 2 minutes more, or until beans and nuts are slightly browned. Salt to taste and serve.
