Steamed Green Beans
A simple and delicious steamed green bean recipe for an easy side dish that goes with any meal!
Ingredients
- 10 oz fresh raw green beans
- kosher salt and ground black pepper
Instructions
- Rinse green beans under cold water and trim ends, if needed.
- Take medium saucepan and add enough water to cover the bottom, about 1/2 inch. Place green beans inside, cover the pot with a lid, and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, uncover, and toss to ensure all of the green beans are turning bright green.
- Cover and turn down to a simmer for 1 minute.
- Meanwhile, take a medium bowl and fill with water and ice. When green beans are done cooking, drain, and place in the bowl of ice and water (this stops the cooking process).
- Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Place in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve.
Notes
- Steamer Basket: You can also use a steamer insert in the pan, but if you don't have one this works perfectly every time!
- Serving suggestions: option to squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top; sauté in some ghee, garlic and lemon zest; or sauté in some coconut aminos with red pepper flakes!
- Storage: place in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
