• 1 cup pecans roughly chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter melted
• 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 1 x salt if using unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 each shallots finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or as needed
• 1/2 tablespoon flour, all-purpose
• 18 ounces green beans 1 1/2 pounds, ends trimmed
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup chicken broth

1. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C) F or use your toaster oven.
2. Add the pecans, butter and maple syrup in a medium bowl, toss until well combined.
3. Spread on a baking sheet, toast until deeply brown and very fragrant, about 15 minutes.
4. Remove from the oven and transfer the pecans onto a piece of waxed papper, which prevents the candied pecans from sticking together.
5. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
6. Add the shallots, stirring, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until soft.
7. Add the flour, and mix well.
8. Stir in the green beans.
9. Pour the orange juice, chicken broth, add the sage, stirring, cover and cook for about 4 minutes.
10. Uncover and keep cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the green beans are tender.
11. Remove from the heat, season with salt and black pepper to taste.
12. Top with toasted butter-maple pecans.
13. Serve.
