No More Plain Jane Green Beans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

14 ounces frozen green beans or 1 lb fresh green beans
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice, bottled is fine
1 teaspoon garlic powder
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
garnish
parmesan cheese (optional)

Preparation

Clean green beans if using fresh. Steam green beans in the microwave or preferred method.
Mix lemon juice, garlic powder, pepper and olive oil together in the bowl you will be serving the veggies. (If you are using fresh lemon I like to add some of the zest to this as well).
Add cooked green beans and fold to distribute the 'sauce' at the bottom.
Sprinkle with parmesan if desired- kids like that part.
Serve!
