  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation
  1. Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water, trim the ends, and set them aside.

  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Add the green beans, tossing to coat with the oil and seasonings. Sprinkle in salt and pepper, then sauté for about 5-7 minutes or until tender yet crisp.

Notes

For additional flavor, customize your seasoning with crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of lemon juice. Fresh green beans offer the best texture and flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
