Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz green beans fresh or frozen
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 1 tbsp coconut aminos
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • For fresh beans: fill a large saucepot 3/4 way full with water & bring to a boil. Add the green beans & cook until bright green, about 3 minutes. If you purchased a steam able bag, follow the steps on the bag vs boiling. Drain the beans & run them under cold water. For frozen, skip right to step 2.
  • In a skillet, heat the ghee over medium-high heat. Add the green beans. Season with garlic, salt & pepper. Cook until the beans are blistered about 4-5 minutes. With one minute left to cook add coconut aminos.
