Easy Garlic Green Beans
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, stems removed
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
- Slice the top off of each head of garlic, then place them in a large pieces of individual tin foil. Wrap the bottom and sides, leaving the top open.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the top, then wrap the exposed portion with remaining tin foil.
- Place in an oven or toaster oven at 400°F for 30–35 minutes.
- Allow to cool. Once cooled, the garlic will be soft, like butter, and will easily squeeze out of the tough shells.
- While the garlic is cooling, microwave the green beans.
- Place green beans and about ½ cup water in a microwave-safe casserole dish.
- Place a lid on top, but do not seal it. (Tupperware also works.)
- Microwave on high for 5–8 minutes until crisp, but still tender in the middle.
- Drain the green beans.
- Add the roasted garlic cloves and salt.
- Place lid securely on top and shake until the garlic and salt are evenly dispersed all over the green beans. (They’ll look like they’re covered in a buttery sauce.)
- Enjoy ‘em hot!
