Tips:

  • Use fresh green beans: Fresh green beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned or frozen beans.
  • Trim the beans properly: To trim the beans, simply snap off the ends. You can also use a knife to cut off the ends, but be careful not to cut too much off.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender-crisp: The beans should be cooked until they are still slightly firm, but not mushy. Overcooked beans will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: The seasonings you use will depend on your personal preference. Some popular seasonings for green beans include salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and bacon.
  • Serve the beans hot or cold: Green beans can be served hot or cold. Hot green beans are a great side dish for grilled or roasted meats. Cold green beans are a refreshing addition to a summer salad.
