Sides should be quick and easy additions to any meal!
I will admit that sometimes when I am cooking dinner I focus so much on the main dish that I completely forget about a side. When this happens I am always grateful for recipes like this! Less than 5 ingredients and about 10 minutes to make- now that saves major time in the kitchen!
Green beans go well with almost anything, so you might as well have a staple recipe for them! This is mine, so I figured why not share it with others? It’s always a win with any meal. I do this both with regular and French green beans, although I prefer the latter.
Sauté the green beans with some olive oil, garlic and the seasonings on medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes. You can use thyme, marjoram or rosemary if you want a single herb. I often choose Herbs De Provence because it’s such a great combination of herbs for powerful flavor!
Add in the walnuts and stir, cooking for a few more minutes. I choose to cook the green beans uncovered because I personally like mine crunchy!
Serve up and enjoy the simplicity of health!
- 8 oz green beans
- 1/4 cups walnuts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tsp herbes de provence
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- Sauté with some olive oil, garlic and seasonings on medium-high heat for about 7 minutes.
- Add in the walnuts and cook for another 3 minutes. When the green beans have reached the desired tenderness remove and serve warm!
I prefer to use french green beans, so this can be done with either.
These green beans are deliciously easy! Once you make them I guarantee you will add them to your meals again and again. For another recipe similar to this you can check out my french beans and rainbow carrots sauté too.

I started eating healthy on my own a few years ago, around the time I started the blog. Shortly after I discovered the program 21 Day Fix and it COMPLETELY opened my eyes to clean eating. I learned how to control carbs, cut processed foods, not be so obsessed with sugar and so much more…. including how to become a meal prep pro! I now coach people through this program.
