Garlic Green Beans are a flavorful side dish originating from a blend of Asian and Western cuisines, often featured in Chinese-American recipes. This dish typically includes fresh green beans, sautéed or stir-fried with minced garlic, olive oil, and a touch of salt and pepper, sometimes enhanced with soy sauce or sesame oil for added richness. Packed with nutrients, green beans are an excellent source of fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, and antioxidants, which support heart health, digestion, and immune function. The garlic adds its own health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory properties and immune-boosting compounds. While generally low in calories, the preparation method can influence its nutritional profile; using excess oil or high-sodium seasonings may elevate the calorie count or sodium levels. For a lighter version, opt for steaming the vegetables and using minimal oil and seasoning.
