- 3 tablespoons oil olive, avocado, or vegetable
- 1 pound fresh greens beans washed and trimmed
- 4 small cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Cover and decrease the temperature to low. Cook the green beans for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender, but still crisp.
Serve immediately.
~ Trim the stem end of the green beans using kitchen shears or a sharp knife. You'll also want to trim and discard any discolored or damaged spots.
~ Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid to ensure the beans get cooked through.
~ Stir occasionally during the cooking process and make sure the garlic doesn't burn. Turn down the heat if necessary.
~ For an oil-free option, use ½ cup of water or vegetable broth instead of oil.
~ Add crushed red pepper flakes for some heat or a pinch of fresh cracked black pepper, if you like.
