How To Make Green Beans

Do you want to learn how to make yummy green beans? It’s super easy and fun! Follow these simple steps to cook them just right:

Step 1: Get the Green Beans Ready

First, you need to wash the green beans really well. This helps get rid of any dirt. After washing, trim the ends off the green beans. This means you cut off the little tips on both sides. Now, they’re ready for cooking!

Step 2: Cook the Green Beans

Next, you can choose to boil or steam the green beans. Boiling means you put them in a pot of hot water. Steaming means you cook them with the steam from boiling water. Cook the green beans until they are tender, which means they are soft enough to eat but still a little crunchy. Be careful not to cook them too long, or they might get mushy!

Step 3: Add Some Flavor

Now comes the fun part—adding flavor! You can sauté the green beans. This means you cook them quickly in a pan with a little bit of oil. Try using olive oil and add some garlic for a tasty twist. You can also sprinkle some lemon zest, which is the yellow part of the lemon peel, for a fresh taste. Feel free to add any other seasonings you like!
