- Do not overcook the green beans.
- If you prefer a little crunch from your green beans, blanch the green beans for one or one and a half minutes instead.
- If you prefer the flavor of fresh garlic and have a few extra minutes, you can sauté fresh minced garlic for about two minutes, until fragrant, then toss it in with the green beans and sea salt instead of using garlic salt.
- Green beans can be blanched ahead of time. If blanching green beans ahead of time, place the blanched green beans directly in ice water to 'shock' them. This will prevent them from continuing to soften from the heat they hold on to.
