Green Beans Asparagus With Red Pepper And Garlic Recipes

ROASTED GREEN VEGETABLE MEDLEY

Steps:

• Quarter the zucchini lengthwise and then cut in half. Place in a gallon resealable plastic bag along with the trimmed asparagus and green beans.
• Add in the olive oil, garlic, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. Seal and toss to completely coat the vegetables. Release any extra air from the bag and store in the refrigerator, along with the Parmesan, until ready to roast.
• When ready to roast, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the vegetable mix from the bag and spread it onto a sheet pan. Roast until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 18 to 20 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. Remove the vegetables from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan over the top.

PAN-FRIED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Cook garlic in butter for a minute, but do not brown. Add asparagus, and cook for 10 minutes, turning asparagus to ensure even cooking.

AIR FRYER SPICY GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place green beans in a bowl. Whisk together sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a separate bowl and pour over green beans. Toss to coat and let marinate for 5 minutes.
• Place half the green beans in the air fryer basket. Cook 12 minutes, shaking basket halfway through cooking time. Repeat with remaining green beans.

ROASTED GARLIC GREEN BEANS OR ASPARAGUS & SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. If using green beans, remove stems and halve. If using asparagus, trim off woody pieces and save for another use. Boil vegetables in salted water, 3 to five minutes. Drain and immediately drop into ice water. Let sit for another three minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, mixrowave coarsely chopped garlic and olive oil in 30 second intervals until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic or have the oil too shallow. I do it in a small tea cup. Reserve 1 tablespoon of garlic infused oil and toss the remaining oil with the vegetables and a liberal amount of salt. Sprinkle garlic pieces over vegetables.
• 3. Roast vegetables in 400 degree oven for thirty minutes. For dressing, try one of the following: 1.) Mix Dijon mustard, rosemary, and desired amount of pepper into remaining oil. Or 2.) mix garlic oil and a tablespoon of red wine vinegar in a dressing bottle. When vegetables are well roasted, drizzle one of the dressings over the vegetables and serve.

• Add cut up veggies and all seasonings.
• Toss to coat.
• Cover pan and fry for about 8 minutes for asparagus and 10-15 minutes for green beans.
