Ingredients

  • 1 12-ounce steam-in-bag green bean
  • 1/2 sweet onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • To Cook the Oil-Free Sauteed Green Beans: Cut a slit in the bag of the green beans. Microwave for 3 1/2 minutes, until tender but still bright green. You can also steam the green beans in small pot on the stove, for 3 1/2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat a wide saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion. Saute, stirring often, until the onion is golden brown around the edges and tender in the middle, about 10 minutes.
  • If the onions start to burn (or blacken around the edges), add 1-2 tablespoons of water, lower your heat, and stir.
  • Add the green beans to the pan and stir well to saute.
  • Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika. Stir well. Cook 30-60 seconds, just until you can smell the garlic and paprika.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve.
