In reply to Phoebe Moore (L&L Recipe Developer). You can boil them longer so they are not too crunchy

In reply to Sarah Conly. Hi Sarah, I'm sorry you were disappointed with the results! If you'd like to cook the beans more, you could try our green beans almondine recipe. We sauté the beans after blanching in that recipe.

This recipe yields a lot of cold, half-cooked beans. Might work if you go on to saute them, as it is I have a lot of beans fresh from the garden which are inedible.

Blanched the green beans and then threw in a skillet for just a minute or two with the olive oil and garlic. Added the lemon juice and zest as suggested. Delicious! Thank you!

Thanks for walking me through my first time prepping fresh green beans! I seasoned with butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes. ?
