Ingredients
1 pound bag of green beans, rinsed, ends trimmed
1.5 Tbsp coconut oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (e.g., Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar)
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, chopped
1 Tbsp fresh turmeric, chopped
1.5 Tbsp nutritional yeast
1 Tbsp fresh mint (finely chopped)
1/2 lemon, juiced
extra virgin olive oil for garnish
flaky salt for garnish
Directions
Heat a cast iron pan, or sauté pan, over medium heat for three minutes. Add coconut oil. Once the oil mets, add turmeric and ginger and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
Add green beans, salt, and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes until beans start to soften.
Add apple cider vinegar, turn the heat down to a medium-low, and simmer beans for 10 minutes until they’re completely soft and the liquid fully evaporates.
Add lemon juice, mint, and nutritional yeast. Toss to coat the beans evenly. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and flaky salt before serving.
