Maple Dijon Green Beans

Ingredients

• 2 pounds fresh or frozen green beans
• 4 tablespoons maple syrup (don’t worry about the sugar as most of the sauce will end up in the bottom of the bowl)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine or raspberry vinegar
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 slices chopped cooked bacon (optional for sprinkling)

Directions

Roast or steam green beans until done. Blend syrup, olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, and water in blender or food processor. Make extra sauce to leave in fridge to use for leftover green beans in the future. Sauce keeps well!
