Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Allow it to get hot but not to the point of smoking.
- Add the breadcrumbs to the skillet. Stir frequently to toast them evenly. This should take about 3-5 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and fragrant. Be cautious not to burn them.
- Once the breadcrumbs are toasted, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir continuously and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and beginning to turn golden. Be careful not to let the garlic burn as it can become bitter.
- Add the green beans to the skillet with the toasted breadcrumbs and garlic. Stir well to combine everything. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender but still crisp (about 5-7 minutes). You may wish to add a splash of water and cover the skillet for a couple of minutes to help steam the beans if they are not tender enough.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Give everything one last stir to make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Transfer the beans with garlic breadcrumbs to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- Use fresh green beans for the best texture and flavor.
- Ensure the garlic is finely minced to evenly distribute its flavor throughout the breadcrumbs.
- Toast the breadcrumbs until they are golden brown for a lovely crunch.
- Feel free to add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the overall taste.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for a zesty finish.
