15-Minute Blistered Haricots Verts with Garlic
These blistered haricots verts are a simple, flavorful side dish that comes together with minimal effort.

Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil or light, neutral oil
- 1 lb haricots verts trimmed French string beans
- 3 large garlic cloves finely chopped
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium lemon cut into wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the pan. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes until very hot, then add 2 Tbsp (30ml) olive oil.
- Cook the haricot verts. Add the trimmed haricots verts, season with 1 tsp Kosher salt and ¼ tsp black pepper, then cook, stirring occasionally, until blistered on all sides, about 7-8 minutes.
- Season, then serve. When the beans are mostly blistered on all sides, add the chopped garlic, then cook for 1 minute more. Squeeze 1 lemon wedge on top, then stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed (or continue cooking if you want them even more blistered). Serve immediately with additional lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- Leftovers: Refrigerate airtight for 3–4 days.
- Reheating: Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat to revive the blistered texture (the microwave works, but the beans will be softer).
