How to Make Apricot Glazed Green Beans

  1. Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
  2. Add 1 pound of trimmed green beans and 1 cup of thinly sliced carrots to the boiling water.
  3. Cover the saucepan and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Do not overcook!
  4. Drain the green beans and carrots in a colander and set aside.
  5. While the vegetables are cooking, heat 1/2 cup of apricot preserves in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 30 seconds, or until liquified. Stir to ensure even consistency.
  6. Transfer the cooked green beans and carrots to a large serving bowl.
  7. Pour the apricot preserves over the vegetables. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or to taste).
  8. Gently toss to coat the vegetables evenly with the apricot glaze.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
