Low-Sodium Balsamic Glazed Carrots and Green Beans

I've been cutting way back on sodium lately

I haven't been adding any salt to my recipes and I honestly have not missed it.

This is one of those recipes.

The saltiness of the Parmesan makes up for the lack of salt.
 

Low-Sodium Balsamic Glazed Carrots and Green Beans

Ingredients:
1 pound fresh organic baby carrots
1 pound fresh green beans, rinsed and trimmed
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, regular flavor
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tablespoon Orange Clover Honey
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

1/2 cup slivered almonds

1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Place carrots into a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook carrots for 3 to 4 minutes

Then add the green beans to boiling water, boil for 6 minutes. Drain.

Sauté garlic in olive oil for 30 seconds over medium heat.

Add balsamic vinegar, honey and pepper.

Add carrots and beans, sauté 5 minutes.

Add slivered almonds, sauté an additional 3 minutes longer.

Place in a 4 quart rectangular casserole dish

Sprinkle with desired amount of parmesan cheese

Broil until cheese melts and lightly browns, about 3 to 4 minutes
