Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole minced garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Rinse and trim the green beans, cutting off any tough ends.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the seasoning.
Pour 1/4 cup of water into the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the beans to steam for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to evaporate any excess liquid, giving the beans a slight caramelization.
Allow the beans to cool completely if you plan to freeze them.
Divide the green beans into freezer-safe bags or containers for OAMC storage. Label with the date and freeze.
To reheat, thaw the beans overnight in the fridge, then gently sauté or microwave until warmed through before serving.
