Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Colander
  • Large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Green beans ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they are bright green and crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  • Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter.
  • Pour in the maple syrup and season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
  • Cook the green beans for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until they are heated through and the maple syrup has thickened slightly.
  • Transfer the maple-glazed green beans to a serving dish and drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Fresh green beans — Opt for fresh green beans whenever possible. They have a vibrant color and crisp texture that can't be beaten.
 
  • Don't overcook — Be careful not to overcook the green beans. They should be tender-crisp to maintain their bright color and fresh flavor.
 
  • Adjust the sweetness — If you prefer a sweeter glaze, feel free to add more maple syrup. Conversely, if you prefer a more savory dish, reduce the amount of maple syrup.
