Tender green beans tossed with thyme and fresh minced garlic

1 pound frozen green beans (French cut or regular)
2 Tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon oil
1 large garlic clove, minced

1. Place frozen green beans, water, and thyme in large non-stick skillet. Cover and cook at medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes or until thawed. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking, covered, for several minutes or just until tender. Drain off excess water, and stir in salt.

2. Push green beans to one side of skillet. Add the oil and minced garlic to the empty side of the skillet and cook and stir garlic in the oil for a minute or two. Stir garlic and beans together, tossing to coat, and serve hot.

These green beans are quick and easy to prepare, and so delicious!! I love the fresh minced garlic tossed in with them, and the flavor is excellent. If you like green beans and like garlic, you'll love this quick vegetable side dish! :) My rating: 10/10
