Sautéed Green Beans
This sautéed green beans recipe is an everyday essential that goes with any main course! It's the simplest way to cook green beans on the stove, and they're irresistibly savory.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans ends trimmed
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the water to a skillet and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water is bubbling, add the beans and cover the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes (they will be tender-crisp). If the beans are too crisp for your liking, cook them for a couple more minutes.
- Drain the water from the skillet.
- Return the skillet (with the beans in it) to the stove over medium heat.
- Add the butter to the skillet, then sprinkle in the onion powder and garlic powder, season generously with salt & pepper, and toss for about a minute until the beans are well coated (use tongs or two spoons). Serve immediately.
Notes
- I use my sea salt grinder and freshly cracked pepper. Or change it up with some seasoning salt or Tony's Creole seasoning.
