Garlic Green Beans
Garlic green beans are a great side dish to make alongside any dinner, and come together super quickly too. With just a few ingredients, they’re deliciously and simply seasoned. They go along with everything!
The process is simple: You steam or boil the green beans, then saute them with healthy amounts of garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until they’re soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Yum.
I’d recommend adding them to your dinner alongside my mozzarella pesto chicken wraps and oven-roasted spiced potatoes.

- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
