Notes
Chef Notes:
How to Reheat: Place on a sheet tray covered with foil or in a pan with a lid and bake at 350° for 4-6 minutes or until hot. You can also simply heat in the microwave.
How to Store: Keep the garlic green beans covered and pace in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You may also freeze them covered for up to 2 months. Thaw before reheating.
Remember that green beans shrink up quite a bit when cooking so account for loss when feeding 4 or more people.
For a little more flavor you can also squeeze in a little lemon juice when tossing the beans with the garlic and olive oil.
