Ingredients
- 20 ounces frozen green beans
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large skillet, steam the frozen green beans with 1/4 cup of water until they become slightly tender and thawed, about 4-5 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high, add the butter, and season with salt and pepper.
- Sauté the green beans for 3 to 5 minutes. If your skillet is not large enough to accommodate all the beans at once, work in batches.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Garlic and Lemon: Add minced garlic to the butter before sautéing the beans. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
- Parmesan and Almond: Toss the cooked green beans with grated Parmesan cheese and top with slivered almonds for a crunchy, nutty flavor.
- Asian Style: Sauté the beans with soy sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for an Asian-inspired variation. You could also add a sprinkle of sesame seeds at the end.
- Mediterranean Twist: Add diced tomatoes, black olives, and a sprinkle of feta cheese to the beans for a Mediterranean twist.
- Bacon and Onion: Cook diced bacon in the pan until crispy, remove and set aside. Sauté diced onions in the bacon fat before adding the beans. Mix in the cooked bacon just before serving.
- Herb Delight: Sauté the green beans with a mix of your favorite fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley, for a garden-fresh variation.
- Spicy Cajun: Add Cajun seasoning to the beans for a spicy kick.
- Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle cooked green beans with a balsamic reduction for a sweet and tangy twist.
- Creamy Dijon: Stir in a spoonful of Dijon mustard to the butter for a creamy, tangy flavor that pairs well with the beans.
- Roasted Garlic and Parmesan: Roast a whole head of garlic in the oven, squeeze out the soft cloves, and mix with the beans and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
