Follow The Directions

01

Step

1 mins

In a large skillet, melt the plant-based buttery spread over medium heat. (1 minute)

02

Step

0 mins

Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. (30 seconds)

03

Step

5 mins

Introduce the trimmed green beans to the skillet and sauté, stirring frequently, until they turn a vibrant green and are tender-crisp. (5 minutes)

04

Step

5 mins

Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until the green beans are tender to your liking and the broth has slightly reduced. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.

For an extra touch of elegance, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving to brighten the flavors.
If you prefer a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can be added along with the garlic.
Blanching the green beans briefly in boiling water before sautéing will result in a more vibrant green color.
