Have you ever added pecans to your green beans? My family always enjoys Pecan Glazed Green Beans.
Fresh cooked whole green beans are one of our family favorites. There are so many different ways you can prepare them. This particular recipe is easy and scrumptious! I simply call it Pecan Glazed Green Beans.
Pecan Glazed Green Beans
1/2 lb. fresh whole green beans
2 Tbsp. butter
1 tsp. brown sugar
1/2 Cup chopped pecans
Pinch of Kosher salt
Snip the ends off the green beans, wash and drain. Place the beans into a pot of boiling water. Boil, for about 8 minutes and drain. Melt the butter and brown sugar in a skillet. Add in the pecans and drained green beans. Sprinkle with the Kosher salt and cook, tossing occasionally for about 5 or 6 minutes. The green beans will be nice and crispy, as well as tasty.
The brown sugar will add the slightest little sweet glaze to the pecans.
This recipe is perfect for your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner anytime you may be entertaining guests.

Mmm, I love how buttery pecans are, I bet you don’t need anything…this sounds like a good way to use up end of season beans…right before the sweaters come out!

Zan says
Yummy, I made them today! I had to use walnuts because I realized all my pecans were gone:( But it still tasted great! Missed the pecans, though!
Shirley Wood says
I’m glad to hear that Zan! We love walnuts too, may have to try that. We live in the south where pecan orchards abound so pecans are usually in the cabinet.
Zan says
Oh men..I need to move to your area, I love pecans. But you know, I discovered I did have pecans in the pantry after I made it. Oh well.
Hubby really enjoyed the slight sweetness in this recipe!
Shirley Wood says
Zan, I’m so glad you stopped back by and told me you made the Pecan Glazed green beans. I’m also happy that your husband liked them. Now you have a new family favorite with pecans or walnuts, whichever you prefer 🙂
