Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Begin by washing and trimming the green beans. Remove any tough ends and set aside.
Core and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the green beans to the skillet. Sauté the beans for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they start to become tender.
Add the sliced red bell pepper to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally, allowing the vegetables to cook evenly and the green beans to become tender-crisp.
Drizzle lemon juice over the sautéed vegetables and season with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes.
Toss everything together to ensure the vegetables are evenly coated in the seasoning. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your keto sauteed green beans with red peppers warm.
