Sautéed Green Beans with Garlic are quick and easy to make and super delicious. The fresh green beans (string beans) are pan-fried until blistered in a few spots then tossed with a little garlic. Yum!
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb. green beans, trimmed (I like the skinny, packaged variety. They are already cleaned and trimmed)
3 garlic cloves, very finely minced
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
Heat a large skillet (I like cast iron for this) over high heat. When it's hot, add the oil and green beans. Cook the green beans, tossing occasionally, until soft and starting to blister and turn black in a few spots, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic to the pan and cook the beans for 1 minute more. Remove the pan from the heat and toss with the salt and pepper.
