Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

~ 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.
