I'm pretty picky when it comes to green beans. I don't love them if they're not cooked right! One of my favorite ways to make them palatable is to roast them so they char a little around the edges. If you top them with caramelized onions, they're over the top! Green beans are also very healthy. They are full of vitamins A, C and K, calcium and potassium. They are also low in calories, fat and carbohydrates and high in fiber.

What is the difference between caramelized onions and sauteed onions?

To sauté onions, cook them for a few minutes until they are soft and browned. Caramelized onions are cooked lower and slower, at least 30 minutes to an hour depending on how many you cook, which causes the natural sugars in the onions to caramelize. The result is sweeter onions with a more complex taste.

Caramelize the onions

Caramelizing onions takes time, but it's not difficult at all. You can use any onions you want, but I really like Vidalia onions for caramelizing. Instead of olive oil, you can caramelize with butter if you'd like.

1. Fry the sliced ​​onions, seasoned with salt and pepper, in olive oil over medium heat in a large non-stick pan.
2. Stir the onions often until they start to brown, which should take about 10 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and fry for about 30 minutes, until the onions are deep golden brown.

What to serve with roasted green beans

These roasted green beans are the perfect accompaniment to any protein. They would be delicious with a whole roasted chicken, roast beef, or stuffed turkey breast. Serve the green beans with mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, or baked sweet potatoes to round off the meal.
