Method
- Wash your green beans. Break off the ends and any brown parts. Break in half if very long.
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Add the beans and simmer for 4 to 6 minutes or until tender when poked with a fork.
- Drain the water from the beans, then add butter or olive oil, and season to taste with salt.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers, once cooled, in an airtight container for 3 to 5 days in the fridge. Reheat to serve warm.
- Beans Variation: You can use regular green beans in this recipe, but the thinner French beans would also work or yellow beans too.
- Cooking Time: If your beans are thinner, you may want to reduce the cooking time by a minute or two.
- Baby-Friendly: Cut into smaller pea-size pieces for older babies around 9 to 12 months.
- Oil Options: You can also use toasted sesame oil or avocado oil for a different flavor option.
- Dipping Sauce: Offer a dipping sauce if desired, such as Cucumber Sauce or Peanut Sauce.
