Summary
Green beans and garlic were made for each other. This recipe requires little preparation, comes together quickly, and is simple — yet tastes exquisite. Sautéed Garlic Green Beans are delicious chilled and served as a fresh summer dish or served warm alongside other dishes as part of a festive fall feast.
Ingredients
Directions
Heat a large stovetop pan over medium heat.
Add the green beans and let them cook until they’re slightly charred, about 5–7 minutes, adding 1–2 tablespoons of water as needed to deglaze the pan (but they should not stick).
Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the vegetable broth. Turn up the heat to medium-high, then simmer until the vegetable broth has evaporated, about 7–10 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
Chef's Notes
