• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced garlic, cooking 45 to 60 seconds until golden brown. Remove using a slotted spoon and reserve on a separate plate.

2. 2

   Add green beans to pan and season with salt and pepper. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, stir occasionally until crisp-tender.
