2 Videos | Photo: Honey Balsamic Green Beans Recipe
Ingredients
- 16 ounces green beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add the beans and blanch them for 2 minutes. Immediately remove the beans from the water and add them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and green beans. Cover, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover, then stir in the vinegar, honey, onion powder, and salt and pepper, to taste. Cook to desired degree of doneness, about 4 to 6 minutes.
- Transfer the beans to a serving bowl and serve.

This is amazing. This even got teenage boys eating and raving about the green beans. I probably didn't cook them the full 10 minutes after blanching- used high heat and cooked them very quickly so they didn't get soggy. The sauce is amazing! Perfect balance of sweet and tart. Love it!

This recipe gets a TOTAL and BIG thumbs down. I followed it to a "T" and the beans were soggy, not crisp and I found the balance of ingredients way to far off the boat. This one gets ripped up, then shredded, then thrown in the trash for the garbage man. Sorry Paula, you have missed on this one.

I have made these 3 times in the past 2 weeks for my family that "hates" green beans. My 5 yr old nephew asked for seconds tonight. He never asks for more of anything, especially not the vegetable! My sister (who caims to dislike balsamic vinegar and green beans tried them and ate all the leftovers for lunch the next day.
