Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon optional red pepper flakes (for heat)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans, cutting off the stem ends if needed.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the oil.
Step 4
Cook the green beans, stirring occasionally, for 5–6 minutes until they start to soften and develop a slight char.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir it into the green beans. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Drizzle the maple syrup or honey over the green beans and toss to coat evenly. Allow the syrup or honey to caramelize slightly, cooking for another 1–2 minutes.
Step 7
Season the green beans with salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes (if adding). Stir to combine.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the green beans to a serving dish. Serve warm and enjoy!
