Green Beans with Hazelnuts and Lemon

I had 1 lb of green beans and adjusted the recipe accordingly. My husband doesn’t eat nuts so I served them on the side. They were very good – so tender. Thank you!

Will never make string beans any other way, delicious. Almonds can be substituted for hazelnuts.

I added a little more lemon zest and lemonp pepper seasoning also and probably one of the best green bean recipes I’ve made in a while. I’ll file this one in the Again file.

steamed the green beans instead, we loved it!

So delicious. I added a little fresh garlic and ginger to it.

I used toasted walnuts. So easy and delicious!

Absolutely delicious and I didn’t change anything! Thanks!

A wonderful tasty side dish, one of the best bean dishes I have ever eaten.

I enjoyed it but felt it needed something extra. It didn’t have a strong flavor on it’s own. I felt it might be a good base for other flavors and I was trying a roasted brussel sprout recipe that turned out to be a little too much seasoning for me. I mixed the two together and added a little fresh mushroom, sun-dried tomato, garlic, and onion. I’m much happier with the result now. I would definitely make this again but would think ahead to the added ingredients and treat them a little more. Today was sort of a rush job lol.

Loved this simple yet tasty way of dressing up plain old green beans. It was a hit with the family as a side dish for Easter dinner…when we went to clear the table, there were leftovers..my mother told me to “leave them”….so she could have more. So yummy! And healthy alternative to “green bean casserole”.

This is an easy, healthy and delicious side dish. The nuts make it really favorable. I stuck to the recipe as written and would definitely make it again.

I did it pretty much the way recipe has it!! I made it for thanksgiving just a little healthier way which I was really excited about and it turned out very easy. I added a little more spice just cause I love spicing things up!! So yummy!

I had these today . I really enjoyed them and will certainly be cooking my beans this way in the future. Turned ordinary beans into something special .

Good, but as others have noticed, not particularly original. The flavors work well together and the hazelnuts are yummy, but they all end up in the bottom of the bowl so you might as well toast some hazelnuts and sprinkle some lemon juice over them. Thanks anyway, though!

Didn’t have hazelnuts, so I made the recipe without. These were phenomenal. Yummm!

Excellent! I used roasted cashews (like the texture better) instead. I cooked green beans for about 3 minutes. Recipe taste good warm or cold.

I served these and was told thank you for the gourmet meal! Everyone raved about these and people who usually don’t eat green beans loved these. I love them cold to snack on the next day too. This is now my dish I will serve to almost every guest this year with hopes I will have some left over for the next day.

I loved the fact that there was a basic recipe provided for me which I could alter to fit the theme I had going for my meal. Here’s what I did: Instead of olive oil, I used canola oil. Instead of hazelnuts, I used chopped roasted almonds since I had them on hand. After they were finished cooking, I squeezed lemon juice over them and topped them with a small dusting of grated Parmesan cheese. I served them with blackened chicken with lemon juice and brown rice. Next time, I will follow the recipe exactly because it’s simple and I think it will be delicious!

Was a nice idea, but didn’t go over well at my house. If we are not doing our beans plain, we really like them with butter, brown sugar, and almonds. Just carmalize the almonds with the butter and sugar before adding the pre boiled green beans and you have a vegetable disguise!

Nice way to add flavor to green beans. Almonds are a good substitute for the hazelnuts.
