Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans washed, dried & ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil OR olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/3 teaspoon fine sea salt or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper or more to taste
  • 1/8 tsp onion salt we use the one from Trader Joe's , optional but so delicious
  • 1/4 cup water

OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:

  2. Add the trimmed green beans and cook, stirring often, until the beans are bright and glossy and slightly brown.
