A delightful twist on classic green beans, enhanced with a zesty lemon and herb butter.
Rinse the green beans thoroughly under cold water.
Rinsing the beans removes any dirt or debris, ensuring they are clean and ready to cook.
Place the green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water and cover.
Steaming helps retain the vibrant green color and nutrients of the beans.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the steamed green beans to the skillet and toss to coat with the butter.
Ensure the beans are evenly coated for a consistent flavor.
Sprinkle parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper over the beans and toss again.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more lemon juice for extra zest.
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and serve immediately.
Serve while warm to enjoy the full flavor of the dish.
