Green beans out of a can??? Never again! (Okay maybe when you're desperate) These are so much better than that, though! And so easy. I find that my steamed green beans tend to get water logged and mushy. I haven't quite gotten the steaming thing down to a science with my veggies. This method has made me less motivated to figure it out, because mmmmm... mm!
Serving size: Varies
Calories: Varies
Ingredients:
Olive oil cooking spray
Fresh green beans (I buy the ready to go bag of french green beans from Costco- even easier!)
Salt (try Real Salt-- it will change your world ;) Plus it's local!)
Mrs. Dash "Vegetable" seasoning
Directions:
So much of this depends on your own taste. I start by getting my pan heated to medium heat. I spray the pan lightly with cooking spray just before adding in the beans. I say the serving size varies, because it depends on how many you're serving, how much you want for yourself, and whether or not you count greens into your daily caloric intake (during the off season, I don't). You're body does more to digest greens than anything else, so the calories are pretty negligible. You just need to watch out for the cooking spray and salt! I like to eat a lot and feel full, so these are a great option, and I eat a pan of them daily (at least) on the side of whatever protein I've planned in for that meal. I spray the beans lightly with cooking spray, add salt and Mrs. Dash, and saute them until lightly browned (about 10 min or so). You want them to appear bright green. Taste one! I like it when they still snap, but the too "fresh" taste is gone. These are SO easy and yummy! Even my son and husband have given them a pass! Let me know if you try these or have questions in the comment section below. Bon appetit!
