Miso Mayo Blistered Green Beans
These Miso Mayo Blistered Green Beans are so good and easy to make. I actually made these in an air fryer at 375° F for about 8 - 10 minutes, shaking it periodically. The recipe says to broil them in the oven. I also just stirred the miso mayo mixture instead of heating on the stove. You can serve them alongside your favorite Asian main course, chicken, pork, steak, etc. Trader Joe's has Miso paste in a convenient resealable pouch.

Smashed Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
Smashed Parmesan Roasted Broccoli is easy and delicious. The broccoli is first steamed until tender, and tossed with olive oil, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. It's then smashed on a sheet pan with the bottom of a glass and topped with parmesan cheese. Smashing the broccoli, it creates a flatter surface for the cheese to adhere to, and it also helps to release some of the broccoli's natural sugars, which caramelize in the oven and give the broccoli a crunchy texture.
