15 MINUTE SMOKED GREEN BEANS

                                    

     These babies are a favorite at our house.  I stumbled across smoked paprika at the store one day, paired it with smoked sea salt, and came up with a vegetable dish everyone loves!  Do you realize what a feat this is?!  I have a family of 6!  SIX!!!! Never can you please everyone.  Except just this once.

     I found these at Sam's, of course in a giant bag.  This works wonderfully for us and lasts a while.

   

                                           

Ingredients:

• Frozen green beans
• Non-stick cooking spray
• Smoked Paprika
• Smoked Sea Salt

Directions:

1. Spray large skillet with cooking spray.
2. Sprinkle pan with paprika and sea salt. Use your own judgement - I probably use about 1/4 tsp. each, but I just sprinkle it all over the pan - roughly 7 sprinkles.  (Is that a term?!) You don't want too much of it or it will overpower the beans.
3. Turn oven on medium heat and let pan warm until you smell the smoked seasonings, then add frozen beans.
4. Cook 15-20 minutes, you want them to still have their color and not be shriveled up.  That's when you know you've gone too far.

Enjoy!  Again, this little creation was purely accidental, I hope you like it as much as we do.
