Green Beans With Sweet Potatoes Recipe (+)

Directions

Place cranberries in a small bowl with 1 cup of orange juice. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet.
Add nuts and toast lightly for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Transfer to a paper towel to cool.
When cool, crumble or chop into small pieces.
Heat oven to 450Â°.
In a bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil and orange juice. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Spread potatoes out on a baking sheet and roast, stirring occasionally, until tender (10-15 minutes).
Set aside, meanwhile, bring 4-6 quarts of water with 1/4 cup of salt added to a boil.
Place the beans into the boiling water and cook until crisp tender (4-5 minutes). When finished, plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain.
