Garlic- … lots of garlic. In a pinch, I have even used a tube of garlic paste and the prechopped and jarred kind. Garlic powder won't cut it here. This recipe is for true garlic lovers.

This recipe calls for quite a few garlic cloves so make sure you have at least a half head of garlic on hand. You can mince your garlic with a knife or use a garlic press if you prefer smaller pieces.

Chicken Stock- Or broth adds a richer flavor. You can absolutely sub vegetable stock for vegan. Out of stock? Sub bullion plus water or just use regular water. When using water I like to add a tablespoon of butter orEarth Balancevegan butter to deepen the flavor.

Garlic Green Beans Salad

Lemon Juice-A little acid is my favorite way to finish any sauteed vegetable. If you are out of lemon options (bottled or fresh) try 1 teaspoon of cider or red wine vinegar. If using fresh lemon feel free to add the lemon zest for a sharper flavor.

Seasonings-We keep it simple with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. If you are feeling herby fresh parsley or chives is recommended. You can also try a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.

This sauteed green beans with garlic uses minimal spices – only fresh garlic, salt and pepper. For Chinese green beans, add chili flakes. Other spices/herbs that would work include basil, oregano, thyme or tarragon. Finishing with minced fresh herbs of the same would also be delicious!

If you are using fresh green beans, you will want to trim (‘snap’) the tip of the stem where it was once attached to the rest of the plant. Fun fact: This is why green beans are sometimes called snap beans! You could cut them if you would like, shorter beans might cook faster though.

Garlic Green Beans With Parmesan

This recipe lightly steams green beans before sautéing them. I love this method as it prevents beans from overcooking as well as it retains their vibrant color.

You may have overcooked them, or they might have been freshly picked past their prime. If you see the green bean seeds bulging from their pod, this could be a sign they are overripe.

Most often the case is because the green beans were picked past their optimal harvest time. You could try shelling the beans from their pod or boiling the whole green bean for 20-30 minutes then adding to Instant Pot jambalaya or vegetable soup.

Prep green beans: You could trim your green beans in advance then store them in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, I don’t recommend making this fresh green beans recipe in advance, as green beans do go somewhat limp in storage.

When Mama Lin visited a few weeks ago, she was so excited to show me how to make her garlic green beans. It is something she started cooking recently for my family back home, and everyone loves it!

The unique quality about this dish is that the green beans are flash fried. This quickly blisters a thin layer of the skin, causing it to wrinkle.

When you bite into the green beans, you can taste the blistered skin and tender center in every bite. It’s so delicious!
