Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 cups water
Instructions
Rinse the green beans thoroughly under cold water and trim the ends.
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the green beans to the boiling water and blanch for 3-4 minutes, or until they turn a bright green color.
Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2 minutes, then drain them again.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Once the oil is heated, add the blanched green beans to the skillet.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper evenly over the green beans and toss to coat.
Cook the green beans in the skillet for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and lightly browned in spots.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Serve warm as a flavorful side to your main course.
