  • Trim the beans before cooking. Remove the tough ends of the beans and any strings that may be present.
  • Blanch the beans before sautéing or roasting. This will help them retain their color and nutrients.
  • Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the beans. Garlic, onion, salt, and pepper are all classic choices, but you can also try using herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Don't overcook the beans. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.

Whether you're sautéing them, roasting them, or adding them to a salad, there are endless possibilities for creating tasty and healthy dishes with green beans.
