Garlic Sautéed Green Beans

Garlic Sautéed Green Beans are such a wonderful side dish! They are quick and easy to prepare and, best of all, are super flavorful. You’re going to love them! 

Can we be honest for a moment? 2020 has been horrendous. Aside from a few small silver linings, this year has been a rollercoaster. I, for one, have been emotionally eating since March. I’ve jumped on the sourdough bandwagon, lived for Christina Tosi’s bake club, and have thoroughly embraced the sedentary quarantine life. I should feel guilty about it, at least that’s what I’ve been conditioned to believe. But the truth is, I don’t. If that slice of bread or chocolate chip cookie helps bring a moment of peace or joy in what has otherwise been a whole mess of negative, then I will embrace it fully. 

But I still believe in balance, so I give you these delicious green beans! It’s a  quick preparation, ideal for those crazy weeknights. There is tons of garlic, and a dash of red pepper flake for the perfect amount of heat.

Tips for Garlic Sautéed Green Beans:
  • I buy French style green beans (a haricot vert). They’re thinner, more delicate, and do not require you to blanch them before sautéing.
  • The recipe calls for ¼ of an yellow onion. You could also use a shallot for this dish. It’s mild flavor will help compliment the green beans.
  • Slice the cloves of garlic as thinly as possible. You want a considerable amount of garlic, however, you do not want to bite into a massive chunk. 
  • Depending on the batch of green beans you have, you may or may not need to steam them. This go around, I had a few that were on the larger side, so I let them steam for about 3 minutes.

These green beans are wonderful and flavorful! They’re perfect for a weeknight dinner or even on a special occasion. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
