How to Make Thanksgiving Green Beans with Cranberries and Hazelnuts
Brighten up a side of green beans with tart cranberries, fresh lemon zest, and crunchy hazelnuts! This simple side dish feels gourmet but is super easy to prepare. It also makes a nice, light addition to your Thanksgiving table instead of the traditional, heavy green bean casserole. If you can't find hazelnuts, sliced almonds, walnuts, or pecans work just as well.
