Directions for Easy Skillet Green Beans with Tomatoes and Herbs Recipe

1
Prepare
Rinse your green beans under cool water to clean. Then, cut or snap the ends off of each green bean (small green beans can be cooked as they are - larger green beans should be cut in half). TIP: If you prefer, you can remove the beans from the green bean pods and cook just the beans.
2
Heat and Add
In a large skillet, pour in your oil and heat over medium. Add in the onion and garlic for about 5 minutes until they turn slightly golden and become soft. Then, stir in the tomatoes, pepper, and basil - stirring frequently for about 2 more minutes.
3
Add
Add in the green beans and stir frequently until they are completely coated with the tomato mix. Cover and cook for about 6-8 more minutes until the green beans become tender. Enjoy!
