These sautéed green beans with onions and garlic are bursting with flavor and super easy to make. They are perfect for any family dinner and a great addition to a Thanksgiving spread!
When I made these green beans for the first time, my bother asked me what is it about green beans that I like so much.
Up until then, I never noticed just how much I eat them. I guess it’s mostly that green beans are easy to make, are a good addition to most meals, and all I have to do is pull some out of the freezer.
That said, I do love these sautéed greens beans with onions and garlic. They are so good!
In fact, whenever I make them, I always have to make sure to make extra, because I end up picking at them until they are served.
Now, these are my go-to side dish when I am cooking to impress.
They are also as essential a part of my Thanksgiving spread as my perfect roasted turkey.
They also go perfectly alongside my creamy mashed potatoes and my melt-in-your-mouth garlic roasted potatoes!
Do you have to blanch green beans before sauteing?
Blanching green beans before sautéing is not mandatory, but it can enhance their color, texture, and tenderness by partially cooking them and setting the vibrant green color.
