To complete my steak in green peppercorn sauce meal I needed only one more thing, something green. I like to try to include green vegetables in my meals whenever possible. Green beans are still readily available at the farmers market and I wanted to do something with them. I remembered seeing a recipe for green beans in parmesan and sage breadcrumbs that sounded nice. I did not have the sage on hand so I decided to use the thyme that I did have. The green beans in parmesan bread crumbs were really easy to make and took very little effort. The toasted parmesan bread crumbs were really tasty and provided a nice crunchy texture to the green beans.

A delicious sounding (and looking!) side dish!
Great side dish!!
Yeah, it’s always a good idea to include green in your daily meals 🙂 I love this side-dish, Kevin, and maybe even more than sage 😉
What a lovely side dish for any meal! It looks and sounds delicious!
Delicious side dish for any kind of steaks.
This sounds easy and delicious. I love Parmesan bread crumbs, they really go well with green beans.
These look delish…and so much more healthy than the casserole alternative.
That looks like a delicious side dish!
Ooh – this looks delish! Green beans are great by themselves, but even nicer when seasoned up a bit. I love this dish.
What an excellent idea, I adore green beans and they are low in carbs!
I love to put breadcrumbs on everything, but I’ve never put them on green beans!!!
This could really complete any meal – it looks that great!
a classic! Love it
A great side! All my favourite flavours are there. The green beans look really fresh too, are you close to the St. Lawrence Market?
my favourite vegetables,green beans

I use buttered bread crumbs as a topping to my homemade mac n cheese – your dish looks great!
What a great way to change up an old favorite!!
This is a fantastic way to make green beans. Delicious yet simple. Great recipe Kevin!
I love Lori Lynn’s recipe on Taste With the Eyes blog.
Yours came out terrific!
What a great meal!

Green Beans are always so boring to me, but these look delish!
My husband yearns for some green in every meal! He will love this!
I like how green these stayed!
Natashya: Yep, its about a 30 minute walk for me and I go every Saturday.
I love green beans and yours look great. I bet this would work well with broccoli also….
My mo made a similar dish as this, but she added marinated artichoke hearts. Great recipe!
Happy Holidays, Kevin!
What a beautiful meal Kevin. I may have to make this for the holidays. I love the idea of crunchy parmesan on the tender green beans.
yum these look like the perfect side dish!
I adore green beans, and love that this is such an easy, tasty way to dress them up!
I’m from sweden and I read your blog every day. I love your delightful pictures and your terrific recipes! A big hug from Frida! 🙂
What a delicious, simple idea for green beans! Why didn’t I think of that?!
I’m loving the Parmesan bread crumbs! A fine way to serve green beans.
You do make delightful looking meals! Can I come to your house? I’ll leave the entourage behind…
Hey Kevin 🙂 I’m a few posts back, but yesterday afternoon I made your cranberry, oatmeal, white chocolate cookies, althought I subbed slivered almonds for the pistacios. I also used almond extract instead of vanilla. OMG I love you because this is the PERFECT cookie recipe ever! It’ was amazing, I underbaked the cookies JUST a tad and they disappeared between 5 people last night lol.
Thanks for the recipe, I’m keeping it forever! (I also used quick cooking oats and they worked fine).
Those green beans look cooked to perfection, and I love the addition of parmesan and bread crumbs. Looks and sounds stupendous.
I was to surprised to see the parmesan here! What a great idea! I think I’d actually prefer the thyme over the sage, although either one would be delicious. This looks so pretty, and I bet it tasted terrific with your steak and onions. YUM!
Everyone’s doing green beans right now…I think the breadcrumbs nail this.
These sound great! I love this as an alternative to most of the heavy winter veggies. I’ll definitely try this as a side dish soon,
A delicious sounding side dish!
wow, i am always looking for ways to cook green beans. i will definitely use this next time!
How simple & perfect – greenery, but with a hint of indulgence!
I've been on a total parmesan kick lately so these sound delightful!
