Ingredients
- 1 can green beans (14.5 oz)
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Drain Green Beans: Drain the liquid from the can of green beans thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the pan.
- Melt Butter: Place a pan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely and start to bubble slightly.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter. Cook it until the garlic becomes fragrant and starts to turn a light golden brown, being careful not to burn it.
- Add Green Beans: Stir in the drained green beans evenly into the garlic butter mixture.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the beans, adjusting the seasoning to taste as you cook.
- Simmer: Let the green beans cook on medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. Stir every few minutes to ensure even cooking and to let most of the excess moisture evaporate, leaving tender, flavorful beans.
- Serve: Once the beans are tender and well-seasoned, remove from heat and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
- If you prefer crispier beans, reduce simmering time.
- Fresh garlic is preferred but garlic powder can be used as a substitute in case of availability.
- This recipe pairs well with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
