How to Cook Green Beans
There are many ways to cook green beans, the most popular being boiling or blanching (boiling in hot water and transferring to ice-cold water to stop the cooking). However, that takes time, and we don’t like to waste yours (or ours). So, we came up with a quicker, easier method that requires 1 pan and only about 10 minutes to make. Simply add to a skillet with oil or butter (dairy-free as needed), cover, and cook over medium-high heat. This simultaneously steams and browns the green beans, cooking them faster with more flavor. Plus, no boiling means less flavor is lost in the water, meaning even more flavorful green beans! We think pan-fried green beans taste better than boiled any day. Put our method to the test and see what you think! For additional flavor, we add a bit of minced garlic at the end of cooking (so it doesn’t burn), which adds a nice kick and complements sea salt and black pepper beautifully. The last touch is adding some toasted slivered almonds into the mix for a nutty crunch. Swoon! We hope you LOVE these green beans!

We personally love them alongside things like Lemon Baked Salmon, Marinated Grilled Chicken, and this Vegan Lentil Nut “Meatloaf.”
