Easy Sautéed Green Beans with Garlic & Nutritional Yeast

These 15-minute sautéed green beans with garlic and nutritional yeast are hands down one of my favorite healthy vegan side dishes! They’re quick, crunchy, and seriously garlicky, and can be made with both fresh or frozen beans. A little sprinkle of nutritional yeast and lemon juice makes them so cravable you'll want to have them on repeat!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 350 g green beans destemmed
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp pepper or to taste
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Toss in the green beans, salt and pepper and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté until the green beans are bright, tender-crisp, and slightly blistered, for about 8-10 minutes total.

Notes

These are best served fresh, but if you need to store them as leftovers, I recommend doing so in an airtight container for up to 3 days!
