Ingredients

2 shallots thinly sliced
2 tablespoons (59 ml) vegetable oil
2 tablespoons (20 g) panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoon (30 ml) olive oil divided
12 ounces (340 g) green beans washed and trimmed
1 tablespoon (14 g) butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 clove garlic minced
1/4 cup (25 g) parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add the shallots and move them around in the pan while cooking. Cook until they are golden, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on a paper towel.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then add the panko breadcrumbs. Toast over medium heat until golden brown. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from the skillet.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter and the remaining olive oil to the skillet. When the skillet is hot, add the green beans and cook until tender but still crisp. Be sure to turn them as they cook so they cook evenly.
When the green beans are done to your liking, season with salt and black pepper. Stir in the garlic and parmesan just to melt the cheese.
Arrange green beans on a serving platter and top with panko breadcrumbs and the crispy shallots. Serve immediately.

Notes

Uniformly sliced shallots will cook more evenly, ensuring you get that perfect caramelization without any burnt pieces.
Watch the shallots closely as they cook. They will go from golden brown to burnt in a matter of minutes.
Keep an eye on the green beans and remove them from the heat before they become too soft. They should maintain a tender-crisp texture.
Freshly grated Parmesan has a superior flavor and texture compared to pre-grated cheese, making a noticeable difference in your dish.
