Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender beans: Look for beans that are bright green and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
- Trim the beans: Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that may be present.
- Blanch the beans: Blanching helps to preserve the color and nutrients in the beans. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp. Immediately remove the beans from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil are all classic seasonings that pair well with green beans. You can also add other seasonings, such as herbs, spices, or citrus zest, to taste.
- Cook the beans until they are tender-crisp: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked beans will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
