🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

  1. 1

    Blanch the green beans: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ Boiling water
    AI Wisdom: Beans should be vibrant green and slightly tender.
  2. 2

    Sauté garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.

    ⏱️ 2 min (ish) 🌡️ Medium heat
    AI Wisdom: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. 3

    Add green beans: Add blanched green beans to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for 2 minutes to heat through.

    ⏱️ 3 min (ish) 🌡️ Medium heat
    AI Wisdom: Green beans should be coated evenly with garlic-infused oil.
  4. 4

    Deglaze the pan: Pour water into the skillet and stir, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the water reduces slightly and coats the beans.

    ⏱️ 2 min (ish) 🌡️ Medium heat
    AI Wisdom: Water will create a light sauce.
  5. 5

    Serve: Transfer the green beans to a serving dish. Garnish with optional lemon zest for a refreshing twist.

    AI Wisdom: Lemon zest adds brightness to the dish.
