Directions

Prep 5 minCook 8 min

1
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Add the green beans and cook, tossing frequently, until they brighten and pick up some color, 3 to 5 minutes.
3
Sprinkle in the balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss until evenly coated and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4
Remove from heat, cover, and let steam briefly so the beans finish tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Adjust seasoning and serve.
