Chron Cooks ft. Zoe Casselman: Stovetop Peppered Green Beans

Zoe Casselman/The Hofstra Chronicle

Feel like eating a vegetable, but don’t feel like being super healthy about it? I have the perfect recipe. At home, this is one of my favorite easy and comforting dishes to make when I’m hungry and don’t have a lot of energy. With only four ingredients, you can create the perfect serving of green beans.

Ingredients:

A bag of green beans

Unsalted butter

Salt

Ground pepper

Instructions:

Cut off the ends of the green beans, then cut into segments about a finger long.

Melt a few pats of butter in a pan on medium-high heat.

When the butter is melted and just beginning to bubble, dump in your green beans and stir.

Coat beans in butter, then add salt and pepper.

Stir occasionally, and make sure the green beans are properly coated in the salt-and-pepper butter.

Cook for about 15 minutes or until the green beans are slightly soft.

Put into a bowl and enjoy!
