Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pounds green beans, ends trimmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • Trim the ends of the green beans. You can do this with a sharp knife or kitchen shears.
  • Blanch the green beans if you want them to retain their bright green color. 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 tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
  • Add the green beans to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the green beans with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for a brighter flavor.
  • Serve the green beans immediately as a side dish or main course.
