Once you snag some green beans from the store (or, if you are lucky, out of your garden), then you probably already have everything else. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Green Beans: I cut the ends off of my green beans so that they are all nice and uniform before I cook them. Olive Oil: This helps all of the seasonings stick to the green beans. Lemon Juice: Adding in some lemon juice gives these a bright and fresh flavor. Parmesan: I used freshly grated parmesan cheese to toss on these green beans. It adds so much to this side dish. Garlic Powder: You can’t go wrong combining garlic powder with vegetables! Salt and Pepper: Add on a sprinkle of salt and pepper to enhance all of the flavors in this green bean dish.
