Green beans with toasted pumpkin seeds and brown butter
The green bean is the perfect holiday side that can be customized to your heart’s content. I love the combination of toasted seeds and the brown butter. I suggest blanching the beans in advance and just tossing them in the brown butter before serving.

- Before serving, in a large skillet melt butter, on medium setting, and add whole rosemary stems, until it stops foaming and smells nutty. Add cooked green beans immediately and season with cracked black pepper. Toss for several seconds just to coat well and heat beans through. Discard rosemary and transfer to serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds.
