Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
- 120 grams fat-free sour cream
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 sprays olive oil spray
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add the green beans and boil for 4-5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
Spray a large nonstick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the fat-free sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and gently toss to coat the beans in the creamy sauce.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are heated through and the sauce evenly coats them.
Transfer the creamy green beans to a serving dish and garnish with a sprinkle of black pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
