NOTES & TIPS

Green Beans. Green beans are in season during the summer months from June through September. Make sure you don’t buy canned green beans, which are a totally different beast compared to the crispness of fresh green beans. You’ll want to buy ones that are firm and snap easily, with a vibrant green color. Serving. If you are serving these garlic green beans as a side dish, there are a number of main dishes that would go well with them. Ideas that come to mind include pork chops with mashed cauliflower and gravy, baked parmesan chicken or roast chicken, meatloaf, and anything with ham or turkey. I also love eating dinner portions of these garlic green beans, as they’re a great option for a low-carb meal.
