Miso-Glazed Green Beans (15 Minute!)

Our family goes wild for these easy miso-glazed green beans! A perfect summer side dish, and packed with tons of delicious sweet & savory flavor. (Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free)

Our family goes wild for these simple miso-glazed green beans that are packed with delicious sweet & savory flavor. And they only take 15 minutes to make, with very simple prep.

It's a fantastic choice for a summer side dish (with fresh garden green beans) or even a flavorful addition to your holiday table in the winter. They're a great alternative to these Almond-Garlic Green Beans we love as well.

I prefer to steam my green beans as noted below (to help retain nutrients). However feel free to use your own favorite method of cooking.

This recipe comes together quick. Simply:

• Cook the green beans
• Whisk together the glaze
• Then toss them together

Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

• 1 lb. fresh green beans
• 2 tsp. sesame seeds (more as desired)

For the miso glaze:

• 1 1/3 Tbsp. white miso (1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp.)

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

• Trim ends off green beans and rinse.
• Place a large skillet (with lid), over medium-high heat, and add 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth. (*Or use your own favorite method of cooking green beans.)
• Once water/broth is hot, carefully add green beans and cover with lid. Steam for about 4-5 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender.
• While green beans are cooking, prepare the miso glaze: add all glaze ingredients to a medium bowl. Whisk to combine until miso clumps are dissolved. (It may take a minute!) Add a touch more water if needed to help thin.
• When green beans are crisp-tender, drain, and immediately add them to the bowl with miso glaze. Add sesame seeds. Toss well to thoroughly combine. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top before serving.

Notes

*Feel free to use your own favorite method of cooking green beans for this recipe. (You can boil them for 4-5 minutes, or use a steamer basket as well.)

For an alternate version, try some freshly grated ginger (or a little garlic) in the glaze.
