Cooking Instructions

• Fill a large pot with water, add a generous amount of salt, and bring it to a boil over high heat. In the meantime, prepare an ice bath by placing ice and cold water in a large bowl. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a double layer of paper towels or a kitchen towel.
• Once the water is boiling, add the trimmed green beans and let them cook until they are bright green and crisp-tender, which will take about 2 to 3 minutes. After cooking, drain the beans and immediately place them into the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Allow them to sit for a few minutes.
• After a few minutes, drain the green beans again and discard any remaining ice cubes. Spread the beans in a single layer on the baking sheet to dry.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and cook it until it becomes fragrant, about 30 seconds. Toss in the green beans and cook them for 1 to 2 minutes until they are heated through. Season the mixture with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
