Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoons lemon juice (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans by snipping off the ends. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and set them aside. Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir to coat them in the oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Cook the green beans for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet still crisp.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly and release their juices.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, drizzle the green beans and tomatoes with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course and enjoy!
