Pan-Fried Garlic Green Beans are simply sautéed in olive oil and butter. The garlic makes these crisp-tender green beans shine. They are a quick, delicious, and healthy side dish. They are extremely easy to make, and they go with absolutely anything.
This is the first year that I’ve grown green beans and yellow wax beans in my garden, and they have been producing extremely well. We’ve had pan-fried green beans several times this summer. If you can’t find fresh green beans at your local Supermarket or Farmer’s Market, frozen ones may be used.
There are so many ways to change up this pan-fried garlic green beans recipe and add a different flavor. Here are some of my favorite things to add:
Seasoning: Add lemon pepper or garlic pepper instead of salt and pepper. Spice the beans up with a shake of cayenne, chili powder, or curry powder. Or squeeze fresh lemon over the sautéed green beans.
Cheese: Add 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese or 1/2 cup Mozzarella. Or add your favorite cheese.
Bacon: Stir 3-4 cooked and crumbled slices of bacon into the sautéed green beans.
Nuts: Add 1/4 cup of toasted slivered or sliced almonds when you add the garlic.
Mushrooms: Sliced mushrooms can be cooked right along with green beans.
