These miso green beans are cooked with shallots that have been caramelized, flash fried so they stay fresh and crisp and get topped with some toasted sliced almonds for a little crunch. You could look at them as a side, but I end up eating them as the main event over some brown rice or noodles. They’re tasty beans!

Add miso to anything and it takes the flavor over the top. It’s fermented soy bean paste so you know it brings the umami. You’ve seen me add it to creamy dressings and even my perfect vegan mac & cheese sauce. In these miso green beans it obviously shines and all you’ve got to do is toss the beans at the very end in a mix of miso, lemon juice, and water. This recipe is uber easy and really satisfying!

This week I show you how to make them in the video below along with some yummy tempeh croutons. The tempeh really rounds the beans out over rice to a whole meal packed with protein and substance. But sometimes I just like eating these straight up on their own too.

miso green beans

Ingredients

1/4 C sliced almonds2 tbsp avocado oil, divided1/2 C thinly sliced shallot (about 1 large shallot)12 oz / 340g trimmed green beans1 tbsp white mellow miso1 tbsp lemon juice1 tbsp warm water

Instructions

Combine miso, lemon juice and water in a small bowl and set aside.Heat a dry cast iron pan over medium-high and toast almonds for about 2 to 3 minutes tossing occasionally until golden brown and fragrant. Remove into a dish and set aside.Return the pan to medium-high heat and add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Toss in shallots and green beans. Lay in an even layer and allow to cook about 2 to 3 minutes, then toss again, and let cook another 3 minutes. You want the cast iron hot but it shouldn't be smoking too much. Lower heat to medium if necessary. You want the beans to be bright green and still slightly crisp and the shallots to be caramelized. Turn off the heat and let cool for about 30 seconds.Pour the miso, water, lemon mixture on top and toss to coat. Once coated, immediately remove the beans to a dish. You don’t want them sitting around in the hot pan. Top with almonds and serve immediately.
