1
Prepare the Green Beans
Trim the ends of the fresh green beans and rinse them under cold water.
2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
4
Combine and Season
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic butter. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
5
Serve
Transfer the buttered green beans to a serving dish and enjoy!
