Equipment

  • Microwave

Ingredients

Makes 6 servings. Check items off as you go.
  • 4 teaspoons vegetable oil divided
  • ¼ cup onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 pound fresh green beans ends trimmed
  • 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes halved lengthwise
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  1. Place green beans in a microwave-safe bowl. Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the bowl, cover and microwave on high for 4 to 6 minutes until green beans are tender.
  2. While green beans are cooking, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Using hot pads, remove bowl of green beans from microwave. Carefully remove cover away from face and hands to release steam, drain water, and toss green beans with salt, pepper, and remaining oil.
  4. Add green beans and tomatoes to frying pan. Heat until tomatoes blister, shaking pan occasionally, about 2 minutes.
  5. Transfer to serving bowl, add lemon juice, and mix gently. Serve hot or cold.
