Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans ends trimmed
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add the water to a skillet and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water is bubbling, add the beans and cover the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes (they will be tender-crisp). If the beans are too crisp for your liking, cook them for a couple more minutes.
- Drain the water from the skillet.
- Return the skillet (with the beans in it) to the stove over medium heat.
- Add the butter to the skillet, then sprinkle in the onion powder and garlic powder, season generously with salt & pepper, and toss for about a minute until the beans are well coated (use tongs or two spoons). Serve immediately.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- I use my sea salt grinder and freshly cracked pepper. Or change it up with some seasoning salt or Tony's Creole seasoning.
