Ingredients and Substitutions

• olive oil – Stir-fried of course! You can use other heat-resistant oils such as avocado oil, coconut oil, or ghee.
• green beans – Look for fresh green beans that are firm and crispy. Trim the ends. Technically, it is possible to stir-fry frozen green beans, but they will have a softer texture.
• sea ​​salt and black pepper
• unsalted butter – My “secret” ingredient! It’s not suitable for actual sautéing as it will burn, but adding a tablespoon at the end adds rich texture and flavor to the sautéed green beans.I use the same method Sautéed Mushrooms and Fried zucchini!
• garlic – Use fresh minced garlic for best flavor, or substitute 1 tsp canned minced garlic For convenience. If you don’t have either, you can season the green beans with garlic powder, but it tastes better with fresh garlic cloves.
• lemon juice – Freshly squeezed lemon juice tastes best, but you can take a shortcut and use bottled If you like.
