Ingredient

• 1 ½ pounds fresh green beans, trimmed and snapped
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder, or to taste
• salt and pepper to taste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Direction

• Combine green beans, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a stainless steel pot over medium-high heat. Cook, covered, until beans begin to sweat. Remove the lid and stir occasionally until beans are tender.
• When beans and spices begin to char on the bottom of the pan, stir in olive oil and turn off heat. Cover and let stand a few minutes.
• Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate charred spices. Beans should have a dark, caramel color, but not black.
