These green beans were the side dish my grandmother served most often because we all love them. They are done but not mushy like canned beans.

Time 30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
garlic powder to taste
onion powder to taste
salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • In a stainless steel pot over medium-high heat, combine green beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cook, covered, until the beans begin to sweat. Remove lid and stir occasionally until beans are tender.
  • When the beans and spices have begun to 'burn' on the bottom of the pan, which will lend a grilled flavor, stir in the olive oil and turn off heat. Cover, and let stand a few minutes. Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate the 'burnt' spices. Beans should have a dark, caramel color, but not black.
