Ingredients
2poundsgreen beans, trimmed
3tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil
3tablespoonsminced garlic
3tablespoonsmincedfresh parsley
1tablespoonchoppedfresh tarragon, or 2 teaspoons dried
1/2teaspoonsalt
Freshlyground pepper, to taste
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place a large bowl of ice water next to the stove.
Add half the green beans to the boiling water and cook until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer the beans with a slotted spoon to the ice water to cool. Repeat with the remaining beans. Place a kitchen towel on a baking sheet and use a slotted spoon to transfer the beans from the ice water; blot dry with another towel.
Just before serving, heat oil in a large Dutch oven or large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the green beans and stir. Add parsley, tarragon, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 3 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Green beans are a low-carb vegetable rich in vitamins C and K. They offer a nice dose of fiber and a little plant protein, as well as folate and potassium to help regulate blood pressure. Green beans contain the antioxidant beta carotene, which can help fight inflammation in the body.
Each little clove of garlic packs a variety of nutrients, including vitamin C, zinc, iron, potassium, magnesium and vitamin K. But because the amount of garlic we eat at any one time is small, we technically don’t get many direct health benefits from these nutrients. With that said, other compounds in garlic—like the sulfuric compounds that give garlic its distinct smell—may play a role in several health benefits, including lowering cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar.Eating garlic may also help reduce inflammationand support gut and immune health.
These garlicky green beans go with nearly everything we can think of: roast chicken, steak, pork and fish. You can chop them up and add them to scrambled eggs, and they go well with pasta dishes too.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
