Garlic Green Beans

Quick Notes: These Garlic Butter Green Beans go best as a side for a meat-focused entree. It’s a quick easy way to mix up your veggies. This recipe is SUPER garlic-y, which is how I like them. If you’re less into garlic (cretin) then you can always cut back a bit.

Ingredients

  • Four big handfuls of green beans, ends snapped (Super specific measurements, I know)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • salt, preferably sea salt or coarse ground

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, bring enough water to cover the green beans to a boil. 
  2. Throw the beans in the pot and boil them for about five minutes.  I would test one at about four minutes to how close to your liking they are. Drain the beans and return them to the pot. 
  3. Turn the heat down on the pot, and toss in the butter.  Stir to melt. 
  4. Once the butter is completely melted, add the garlic.  Cook the beans in the garlic-y butter goodness for about 2-3 minutes. 
  5. Remove from heat and salt aggressively. Let them sit and cool for a minute or two before serving.
