Ingredients

  

• 2 cups fresh green beans trimmed and snapped in half
• 3 tablespoons plant-based spread
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 cup onions chopped
• ⅛ teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning or more to taste
• salt to taste

Instructions

 

• 3 Easy steps to an incredible dish
• STEP 1: Prepare The Ingredients.
• The very first step is to washing and trims the green beans. Make sure you remove the top stem, while the bottom should be left as it is. If you want your beans to be smaller, cut them into smaller pieces.
• Take the required amount of garlic cloves and mince them. You can use a garlic press to make the process easier.
• STEP 2: Mix everything.
• Now take a baking tray and cover it with parchment paper; you can also use silicone baking which would be a little challenging to clean.
• Add plant-based spread, green beans, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic, and salt. Toss everything together in the baking tray and mix everything. Ensure all the beans are coated with the lemon pepper seasoning and the garlic is mixed with the beans properly.
• Spread the beans evenly on the baking tray, and then you can top it with lemon slices for garnishment if you want.
• STEP 3: Bake your beans and then serve.
• Ensure you have preheated your oven to 400° F. When the oven is heated to the temperature, cook green beans and make sure you bake them for 14-15 minutes.
• After they are done, you will see your beans turning a bit crispy and brown, but the shine wouldn’t go. If you like the beans more brown and crispy, you can bake them for a little longer, making them more cooked.
• Even when the beans are of bright green color, they will still have a crunch while eating.
• The garlic on top of the beans can turn blue by reacting with the acids from the lemon. But it’s not harmful or injurious to your health.

Or for the Stove top version

• Add the string beans, onions, garlic and oli to the frying pan.
• Cook for about 8-10 minutes or until tender.
