Green Fries

You'll need two or three full trays for larger families. These green fries do a magical disappearing act with children. We love these ugly-looking things! The uglier they get, meaning all brown and shriveled, the yummier they can taste. They're a great side for all sorts of main meals, but especially burgers. This recipe is found on page 357 of the Trim Healthy Mama book, page 218 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, and page 262 of Trim Healthy Table. This is a family-serve recipe that feeds about 6 to 8 people.

Description

You'll need two or three full trays for larger families. These green fries do a magical disappearing act with children. We love these ugly-looking things! The uglier they get, meaning all brown and shriveled, the yummier they can taste. They're a great side for all sorts of main meals, but especially burgers. This recipe is found on page 357 of the Trim Healthy Mama book, page 218 of the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, and page 262 of Trim Healthy Table. This is a family-serve recipe that feeds about 6 to 8 people.

Ingredients
  • 32 oz frozen green beans (2-16 oz bags, extra fine cut)
  • 3 Tbs butter (3 to 4 Tbsp melted, or coconut oil)
  • TH Mineral Salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • cayenne pepper (to taste, optional)
  • 2 Tbs TH Nutritional Yeast
  • 2 Tbs Parmesan cheese (2- 3 Tbsp; finely grated, optional)
  • garlic powder (optional)
  • onion powder (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Empty the bags of beans onto two 9x13-inch baking trays. Divide the melted butter (or coconut oil) between the two baking trays.
  2. 2
    Sprinkle generously with nutritional yeast, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, mineral salt, and optional onion and garlic powder.
  3. 3
    Toss the beans with your hands so each green bean gets glazed with butter/oil and coated with seasonings.
  4. 4
    Bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the beans once or twice during cooking, until they are tender and slightly shriveled.
Note

"Children don’t seem to mind what they look like, ours scarf them up as soon as we take them out of the oven. But if you’re unsure of your family’s reaction, make a single bag the first time around instead of a double."
