olive oil
2 tsp

Method

Trim the stem ends from the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cold running water.

Pat the green beans dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2 minutes

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

1 minutes

Add the green beans to the hot oil and spread them in a single layer, allowing them to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until they begin to brown.

3 minutes

Stir the green beans and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and lightly charred in spots.

4 minutes

Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, tossing gently to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Transfer the sautéed green beans to a serving dish and serve immediately while still warm.
