Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends if necessary.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped rosemary and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the rosemary and garlic mixture.
Season the green beans with salt and black pepper and stir to combine.
Pour in the water, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the green beans steam for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.
Remove the lid and sauté the green beans for another 2-3 minutes to evaporate any remaining water and give them a slight char.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a healthy and delicious side dish.
