Description
Fresh and zesty low FODMAP lemon green beans make the perfect IBS-friendly side dish. Ready in just 18 minutes with garlic-infused olive oil and toasted pine nuts for extra flavor and crunch.
Ingredients
¼ cup pine nuts
1 ¼ pound (566 grams) green beans, washed and trimmed
2 tablespoons garlic-infused olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Place pine nuts in a dry skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until nuts start to turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
4. Once the pot of water is boiling, add green beans and cook for 3 minutes until just tender-crisp. Drain green beans under cool, running water to prevent further cooking. Shake dry before transferring to a large bowl.
5. Add dressing to green beans and toss. Transfer to a serving platter.
6. Serve warm topped with toasted pine nuts.
Notes
Choose bright green beans that snap crisply when bent for best results.
