Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lb fresh green beans trimmed
  • 4-5 tbsp salted butter
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon pepper
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Equipment

Method

  1. Add green beans to a large skillet and add water until the beans are just covered. Bring the water and beans to boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a light simmer. Allow the beans to soften, about 3-5 minutes. Once the beans are softened, drain the water.
  2. Add the butter to the beans in the skillet and toss with garlic, salt and pepper until they’ve reached desired doneness. Serve immediately.
