- 250 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat, adding olive oil once hot.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the quartered red potatoes to the skillet, stirring to coat them with the oil, onions, and garlic.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Cover the skillet and let the potatoes cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet, mixing them into the potatoes.
Continue to cook covered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the green beans are tender yet still crisp and the potatoes are fully cooked.
