Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 15-ounce cans canned green beans
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Drain the canned green beans well and set them aside.
Mince the garlic cloves finely and set them aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until fragrant.
Add the drained green beans to the skillet and toss them to coat in the garlic and butter mixture.
Season the green beans with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are heated through and slightly caramelized.
If using, drizzle the green beans with lemon juice for a bright, tangy finish.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
