Buttery Garlic Green Beans
You'll need just five ingredients and a few minutes to make these Buttery Garlic Green Beans. Did I mention it's just one skillet, too?
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds fresh green beans trimmed and snapped in half
- ¼ cup butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- fresh lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Place green beans in the bottom of a large skillet and add water to barely cover them; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans begin to soften, about 2-4 minutes. Transfer beans to a strainer to drain.
- Add butter to the hot skillet over medium-low heat. When the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Return the green beans to the skillet, toss to coat, and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze lemon juice over the green beans, if desired.
