This elegant recipe for green beans with sage and pancetta offers a wonderful balance of textures and earthy flavours. The freshness of the blanched beans provides a vibrant base for the salty, crisp pancetta and the aromatic warmth of fresh sage. By quickly sautéing the ingredients in a small amount of heart-healthy olive oil, you create a sophisticated side dish that feels indulgent while remaining light and nutritional.

As a diabetes-friendly option, this vegetable-led dish is naturally low in carbohydrates and high in fibre. It makes an excellent accompaniment to roasted chicken or grilled fish for a nutritious midweek meal or a Sunday roast. If you are preparing for guests, the beans can be blanched up to two hours in advance, allowing you to finish the final sauté just before serving.

Ingredients for Green Beans with Sage and Pancetta

1,1 kg gröna bönor, ansade
230g thinly sliced pancetta, coarsely chopped
2 matskedar extra jungfruolivolja, delad
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh sage
Fleur de sel* or other medium-grain sea salt for serving (optional)

How to make Green Beans with Sage and Pancetta

Line baking sheet with several layers of paper towels. Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes depending on size of beans. Drain. Spread beans out on paper towels. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.

Combine pancetta and 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet. Sauté over medium heat until pancetta is crisp, separating pieces with 2 forks, about 10 minutes. Add sage and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to plate.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add beans and sauté until heated through, about 5 minutes. Add pancetta mixture and toss to blend. Season to taste with freshly ground black pepper. Transfer to large bowl; sprinkle with fleur de sel, if desired, and serve.
