Steps:
- In a stainless steel pot over medium-high heat, combine green beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cook, covered, until the beans begin to sweat. Remove lid and stir occasionally until beans are tender.
- When the beans and spices have begun to 'burn' on the bottom of the pan, which will lend a grilled flavor, stir in the olive oil and turn off heat. Cover, and let stand a few minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate the 'burnt' spices. Beans should have a dark, caramel color, but not black.

BETH'S EASY PLEASY GREEN BEANS
These are so yummy--and oh so easy! I like to use frozen whole green beans versus the cut ones. If you can find the slender whole beans, that's even better! These can be made with fresh beans too, but you have to adjust the cooking time. Being that fresh bean season is so short, I usually use the frozen. For the sliced almonds, I really love "Roasted Garlic Caesar" Almond Accents made by Sunkist. These can usually be found in the produce or salad dressing section of your grocery store.

Tips:
- Choose the right green beans: Look for fresh, tender green beans with a deep green color. Avoid beans that are wilted, bruised, or have blemishes.
- Trim the green beans: Remove the stem ends from the green beans. You can also trim the ends of the beans if they are particularly long.
- Blanch the green beans (optional): Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Season the green beans: Before cooking, season the green beans with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or butter.
- Cook the green beans over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the beans and prevent them from becoming mushy.
- Stir the green beans frequently: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp: This should take about 5-7 minutes. You can test the beans by piercing them with a fork. They should be tender, but still slightly firm.
- Serve the green beans immediately: Green beans are best served hot or warm.
