Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For parmesan-almond crumble: Pour almonds into a skillet and lightly toast over medium-low heat. Once almonds begin to toast, sprinkle with parmesan and quickly stir (parmesan will begin to melt right away, so be sure to stir the mixture frequently so the cheese doesn’t burn). Once mixture has toasted and melted, 3 to 4 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool.
  2. For green beans: Preheat oven to 375˚F. Toss green beans in a large bowl with remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper. Spread seasoned green beans onto a large baking sheet in an even layer and roast for 30 to 40 minutes or until the green beans begin to soften and char. Remove from heat, adjust seasonings and top with parmesan-almond crumble. Serve.
