Buttery Sautéed Green Beans

First up, let’s feast our eyes on this beauty!

Buttery Sautéed Green Beans Before we whisk away into the delicious realm of cooking, let’s check our ingredient list. You won’t need a treasure map to find these gems!

Ingredients:

1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter (because who doesn’t love butter?)
2 cloves garlic, minced (add a little flair, you know you want to)
Salt and pepper, to taste (sprinkle it like it’s confetti!)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (for that tangy zing!)
Optional: toasted almonds for some crunchy glamour

Instructions:

First things first, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare yourself for the coming green bean greatness. Once boiling, toss in those vibrant green beans and blanch them for about 3 minutes—just enough to soften their hearts while keeping that perfect crunch.
Drain the beans and dunk them in an ice bath because we want to stop the cooking process. This little plunge will keep them looking fresh and fabulous.
Now, let’s get to the buttery part! In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. The smell alone will make you question how you ever lived without this step in your life.
Add the minced garlic, and sauté for about a minute until it’s golden and aromatic—fancy word alert!
Time to bring back those green beans! Combine them with the garlic and butter in the skillet, stirring gently to coat. Season with salt and pepper, and give it a squeeze of that lemon juice for a refreshing twist.
If you’re feeling extra fancy, toss in some toasted almonds for that crunchy bite. Serve them up like the culinary rock star you are!

And voilà! You’ve transformed simple green beans into a buttery masterpiece that’s bound to steal the show at any gathering. Serve these alongside your favorite dishes or devour them all by themselves—no judgment here! Happy sautéing!
