Quick and Easy Charred String Beans

This quick and easy side dish is perfect to serve with whatever you have on your holiday table.  I used a mixture of green and yellow beans for color but you can use all green beans if you like.  

We are sharing Holiday Side Dishes this week......

Heather of Hezzi D's Books and Cooks is hosting this annual event in which we all get together to help our readers plan for their Holiday Dinners. 

I don't know about you, but in this family we serve a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner that includes Roast Turkey and Stuffing.  I can get a little more creative with the other Holidays but on Thanksgiving my creativity is limited to the side dishes that I offer.  That is one of the reasons I look forward to this event so much each year.  Because after, 40+ years of cooking Thanksgiving dinner, I tend to run out of ideas.

Heather and my fellow bloggers to the rescue!!!  Let's see what's being shared today.....

It doesn't get much easier than this recipe.  Prep the beans ahead of time so that they are ready to be charred right before serving.  It only takes minutes and can be completed while the others in the family are taking your feast to the table. If that makes you nervous they can be cooked earlier and placed into a warm oven until time to serve. This side dish is vegan and keto so all your guests can enjoy it.
