A fast fix that makes those veggies shine! Now that they make those bags of veggies that steam right in the bag this is so fast and easy yet looks and tastes special.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

14 ounces frozen green beans or 1 lb fresh green beans
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice, bottled is fine
1 teaspoon garlic powder
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

garnish

parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

1
Clean green beans if using fresh. Steam green beans in the microwave or preferred method.
2
Mix lemon juice, garlic powder, pepper and olive oil together in the bowl you will be serving the veggies. (If you are using fresh lemon I like to add some of the zest to this as well).
3
Add cooked green beans and fold to distribute the 'sauce' at the bottom.
4
Sprinkle with parmesan if desired- kids like that part.
5
Serve!

I used frozen french-cut green beans, and this turned out very nice. For me, the lemon flavor was a little strong; I used fresh lemon juice.

I really don't care for frozen green beans but this recipe improves their flavour a lot. I used french cut green beans and prepared them as directed. I loved the lemony garlic flavour. When I next make them I'll set a portion aside for DD and leave out the lemon for her but for me the lemon is a must. Thankyou for posting this frozen veggie rescue recipe.
