Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the green beans: Rinse and trim the ends of the green beans. This ensures they are clean and ready for cooking.
  2. Sauté the green beans: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until they are tender-crisp.
  3. Add the spices: Sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the green beans. Stir well to evenly coat and let the spices enhance the flavor during a minute or two of cooking.
  4. Toast the breadcrumbs: In a separate small skillet, lightly toast the breadcrumbs over medium heat until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  5. Combine and serve: Transfer the sautéed green beans to a serving dish, sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs on top, and serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute butter with olive oil.
  • The breadcrumbs can be seasoned with herbs like parsley or thyme for an additional aromatic touch.
  • If fresh green beans are unavailable, frozen green beans can be used; adjust cooking time accordingly.
