How To Make sauteed green beans with pecans

Step 1

If using fresh green beans, remove tips and cut beans in half.

Step 2

Bring a pot of water to boil and add green beans (fresh or frozen) and cook until done. Drain.
Step 3

While green beans are cooking, toast pecans. Spread them on a cookie sheet and toast them in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes.
Step 4

Melt butter in a skillet and add minced garlic and saute for about 1 minute. Add green beans and toasted pecans and toss gently until beans are coated with melted butter. Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy!
