Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.

  2. Add green beans, return to a boil and cook 1 minute, the beans should still be crisp. Drain the beans, don't rinse.

  3. In a large skillet or wok, add oil. Heat until very hot (the skillet is ready when a drop of water in the oil sizzles). Add beans and cook about 1 minute, turning often with tongs or spatula. Sprinkle on pecans and Old Bay. Turn the beans and pecans to coat with oil and spices, cook about 2 minutes more, or until beans and nuts are slightly browned. Salt to taste and serve.

Recipe Note

Here's a change of pace: crispy stir-fried beans that are excellent as an appetizer or side dish. Green vegetables are rich in antioxidants and tied to lower risks for certain cancers.
