- Salt to taste
Instructions

Notes
- Instead of olive oil, try this recipe with butter or vegan butter!
- Don't overcook the green beans. Cooking them for just a few minutes and then shocking them in cold water helps them to keep their beautiful vibrant color.
- Don't have any fresh garlic? Season the beans with salt and garlic powder instead.
- A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving is delicious here, as is a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
