When fresh green beans are available, cooking them in a simple saute highlights their flavor and snappy texture. This sauteed green beans recipe uses creamy butter, garlic, bright parsley and dried herbs to bring out the best in garden-fresh green beans. Try this versatile side dish with teriyaki salmon<\/a> or roast chicken<\/a>.<\/p>\n In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add beans and cook 5 to 7 minutes until desired texture is reached. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until aromatic. Stir in parsley, basil, oregano, cayenne and salt.<\/p>\n Leftover green beans can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.<\/p>\n Gently reheat green beans in a skillet. Add a splash of water or chicken broth<\/a> to loosen and add moisture.<\/p>\n To trim green beans, simply snip off each end a sharp knife or kitchen shears. Try using a cutting board and a chef\u2019s knife to trim several beans at once.<\/p>\n It\u2019s your call! Green beans take a little longer to cook than other tender green veggies, but they taste delicious while still a bit snappy. Sample a bean every minute or so as they approach the end of their cook time until they reach the texture you prefer. Learn more about how to cook green beans<\/a>.<\/p>\n The texture of the green beans is a highlight in this recipe, so we don\u2019t recommend using frozen green beans. Frozen green beans lose their crisp-tender texture and will yield a mushy side dish. Instead, save your frozen green beans for soups and green bean casseroles<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These sauteed green beans with garlic and a variety of herbs and
