This recipe combines the crisp, fresh flavor of green beans with the aromatic taste of garlic and the savoury punch of Parmesan cheese. It’s a great side dish that could steal the show at any meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
- Prep the Green Beans: Start by washing your green beans and patting them dry. Trim off the ends.
- Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1 minute.
- Cook the Green Beans: Add the green beans to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp.
- Add the Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the green beans. Toss to combine, allowing the heat to melt the cheese slightly.
- Serve: Serve the green beans hot, with a little extra Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
