Maple Green Beans with Parmesan Panko

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Set aside a medium size sheet pan.

Heat ½ tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet. When hot, add panko and stir for about 3–4 minutes, or until it starts to toast. Add cheese, stirring in until panko is golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add remaining ½ tablespoon olive oil. When oil is hot, add garlic and green beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss green beans for 2–3 minutes to absorb the flavors, then turn heat off. Add maple, making sure the green beans are coated evenly.

Transfer to a sheet pan. Add cranberries and give it a little mix. Bake for 12 minutes, giving it a quick stir halfway through.

Transfer to a serving dish, top with toasted panko and serve.
