This is one of the very first vegetable side dishes I learned to make in my early 20s. My (now) in-laws saw the recipe on Rachel Ray and made it for us (I can’t seem to find the exact recipe to link). Sean and I instantly fell in love with it’s simple yet satisfying flavor and have been making it ever since.
Other vegetable side dishes we love are Air Fryer Cauliflower, Honey Roasted Carrots, Roasted Broccoli with Garlic, Roasted Root Vegetables, Instant Pot Artichokes with Creamy Chili Dipping Sauce, and Kid Friendly Roasted Cauliflower.
The recipe for green beans with caramelized shallots calls for just 5 ingredients (including salt and pepper). It really is a simple recipe you will want to make again and again. If you haven’t tried shallots before, they taste like a cross between garlic and a sweet onion. In a totally delicious, eat every last bit kind of way.
