Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar reduction
Zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Fill a large skillet one-quarter full with water, add 1 tablespoon salt and bring to a boil. Add the green beans, cover and simmer until bright green but still slightly hard, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the green beans; saute for 2 minutes. Add the balsamic reduction and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper. Toss the beans to coat, then cook for 1 minute more. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with the lemon zest.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my green beans turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much water.

This is a great recipe for a healthy side dish. The green beans are packed with nutrients and the lemon-butter sauce is a delicious way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I love how versatile this recipe is. I've made it with different types of beans, including haricots verts and asparagus, and it always turns out great.

These green beans were a disappointment. They were bland and lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I'm not a big fan of green beans, but I actually really enjoyed these. The lemon and garlic sauce was really flavorful and the green beans were cooked perfectly.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add a few extra ingredients to make it my own. I usually add some chopped almonds and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.

I followed the recipe exactly and my green beans turned out mushy. I think I would have cooked them for a shorter amount of time.

These green beans were a little too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred a little less lemon juice.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The lemon and garlic give the green beans a really nice flavor. I also like to add a little bit of red pepper flakes for a little extra kick.
