Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds French green beans, trimmed
  • 4 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon canola oil
  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) pecan halves
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (2 ounces) maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

  3. In electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, whip butter until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add maple syrup and pecans, stirring by hand to incorporate. Set aside.
  4. In 10-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat 2 tablespoons canola oil until hot but not smoking. Add half green beans and sauté until hot, about 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to large bowl and repeat with remaining beans and oil. Add maple-pecan butter and toss to combine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
