Garlic Butter Sauteed Green Beans with Parmesan

My Thanksgiving dinner table is all about easy and quick side dish recipes. Starting from this Green Bean Cheddar Casserole to Pan-Seared Garlic Butter Mushrooms to Garlic Parmesan Roasted Carrots to Creamy Mashed Cauliflower to Baked Mac and Cheese to Green Bean Ranch Potato Casserole. This sauteed Green Bean is the perfect accompaniment to other recipes and makes my Thanksgiving dinner table complete.

These Green Beans are -

These Garlic Butter Sauteed Green Beans are exactly as the name suggests. It's simply sauteed. I haven't even balanced the green Beans. These are bright green, crunchy on the outside but juicy and fresh on the inside. The Lemon zest and Lemon Juice adds the perfect freshness to these Green Beans.

How to make it Vegan?

If you wish to make it vegan, you can replace butter with Vegan Butter or just skip it out and use just Olive Oil instead. Also, you will have to skip on the Parmesan Cheese. Trust me, this will taste the same, equally delicious!

Saute the Green Beans

First of all, Wash and Rinse the Green beans. Now chop off both the ends of the Green Beans and then use it. Melt Butter with some Olive oil in a Saute Pan. Add the Green Beans and saute for 2-3 minutes over a medium-low flame. Stir well so that the butter coats the Green Beans well.

Add the Garlic

Now, add the minced garlic and saute until the raw smell of Garlic goes away and it turns fragrant. (for 1-2 minutes over a medium-low flame)

Add the Lemon Zest

Finally, add the Lemon zest, toss everything well to combine, and take it off the heat.

Garnish and Serve

Top with Grated Parmesan Cheese, Salt, Freshly cracked Black Pepper and Lemon Juice. Mix well and serve!

About Blanching the Green Beans

For this recipe, I have used Raw green Beans and have sauteed it. I haven't blanched the Green beans. This is because Blanching the green beans takes away its bright green color. If you wish to blanch it, then after immersing the green beans in hot water, quickly transfer it to a bowl of ice-cold water. This will retain the color of these green beans.

However, just sauteeing these Green Beans will keep them crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Just what we love about our Thanksgiving Green Beans.

In my home, we love the fresh greens with our meat. So, I always sautee my Green Beans and use it as my side. However, if you want your Green Beans soft and mushy, then you can blanch the Green Beans and then sautee it over butter and olive oil.

Can I Saute these Green Beans Ahead of time?

Yes, of course. You can make this ahead of time, however, I would not recommend you to do so. These taste the best when they are freshly served straight out from the saute pan.

So, to prep this ahead of time, you can throw the green beans in a pot of boiling water. Add some salt to it and boil for 1-2 minutes over medium-high flame. Then quickly transfer it to a bowl of ice-cold water.

This will stop the Green Beans from getting overcooked.

Now, after 1-2 minutes, get them off and pat dry them with a kitchen towel. Wrap it up in a plastic wrap or foil along with the chopped garlic and lemon zest.

Before you serve it, just heat butter and olive oil in the pan, throw in the green beans with Garlic and Lemon Zest. Saute until it gets combined with the butter and cook over low flame for 3-4 minutes and then take it off the heat, garnish with salt, black pepper, parmesan, and lemon juice and enjoy!

Other alternatives to this recipe

Yes, there are many other Alternatives possible to this recipe.

You can add everything in a sheet pan and roast it in your oven. It'll be your very own Roasted Green Beans with Garlic and Parmesan. Preheat the oven to 350F and bake these beans for 10 minutes. Toss in between.

You can add additional herbs like Rosemary or Thyme for added flavors and taste.

You can also add thinly sliced Onions along with the Garic to make Sauteed Green Beans with Onion and Garlic.
