Garlic Green Beans

One of my favorite ways to prepare green beans (or the thinner French haricots verts) is to sauté it in olive oil with garlic.  It's quick, simple and yummy.

Garlic Green Beans

Ingredients:

• olive oil
• green beans, stemmed and washed
• Tastefully Simple Seasoned Salt
• a couple cloves of garlic, minced (or Tastefully Simple Garlic Garlic)

Directions:

• If using large green beans, I like to nuke them for a minute (or blanche them in boiling water) before sautéing, just to soften them up a tad.  If using thinner green beans, or haricots verts, I skip this step.
• In a sauté pan, heat a tablespoon or two of olive oil.
• Toss in the green beans and sauté for a minute or two.
• Add TSSS and minced garlic.  Toss for a few more minutes until the green beans are slightly soft but still crunchy.
• Serve immediately.
