Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 package (12 ounce) green beans (fresh)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1/2 whole lemon
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Microwave green beans according to package directions for 3 minutes (or steam until almost done but not fully done). To a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and sauté beans, with salt, and pepper, and lemon zest until beans are hot and cooked tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes (NOTE: make sure if you cook it longer than 2 minutes, to add the lemon zest towards the end because you don't want to burn off and lose all that good vibrant flavor of the lemon zest). Squeeze lemon half over beans, and serve immediately.
