Servings: 4 Servings
Calories: 52kcal
Ingredients
- 12 oz bag of “Washed + Ready to Eat” green beans (or 12 oz green beans, washed and ends snipped)
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Add water to a medium-sized saucepan until about two-thirds of the way full. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Add green beans to water and allow to boil for 6-8 minutes, just until tender.
- Do not allow them to cook far beyond this stage, as they will continue to cook slightly longer once removed from the heat. Immediately drain and transfer to serving dish.
- Toss with butter, salt and pepper. Serve right away and enjoy.
Notes
*If you can’t find the bagged goodies in the produce section, don’t worry about those raggedy ol’ ends. All you need to do is stack them, a handful at a time, on their little behinds, lay them on your cutting board and cut about a ½” from the end and then repeat on the other side.
