Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by washing and trimming the ends of the green beans. Set them aside to drain excess water.
Rinse the red bell pepper under cool water. Cut it in half vertically, remove the stems, seeds, and core, then slice it into thin strips.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the sliced red bell peppers to the skillet. Stirring occasionally, cook for about 3 minutes or until they start to soften.
Add the green beans to the skillet, sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss everything well to coat the vegetables in the seasoning and oil.
Continue to sauté the green beans and red peppers for another 7-10 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Once done, remove the skillet from heat. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the sautéed vegetables and toss them gently to combine.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the dish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your meal. Enjoy your Whole30 Sauteed Green Beans with Red Peppers!
