Directions
- 1
Prepare the Pecans
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the pecans with olive oil, maple syrup, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pecans are golden and aromatic.

Cook the Green Beans
While the pecans are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fresh green beans and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until they are tender but still crisp. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

Combine and Serve
Once the pecans are roasted and the green beans are cooled, drain the beans from the ice water and transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the green beans with lemon juice, sprinkle with the spiced pecans, and toss gently to combine. Serve warm.
