Pan Fried Green Beans

Pan Fried Green Beans deliver tender-crisp pods tossed with garlic and onion powders for a lightly charred, savory finish. The beans caramelize just enough to bring out sweetness while staying snappy, making this a bright, aromatic side for weeknights or holiday tables alike.

Pan Fried Green Beans
  1. 1

    Assemble the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Place the green beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a stainless steel pot over medium-high heat. Cook covered until the beans start to sweat, then remove the lid and stir occasionally until the beans are tender.

  3. 3

    When the beans and spices start to char on the bottom of the pan, stir in the olive oil and turn off the heat. Cover and let it sit for a few minutes.

  4. 4

    Scrape the bottom of the pan to mix in the charred spices. The beans should be a dark, caramel color, not black.
