Steamed Green Beans: A Simple and Nutritious Recipe

0 Add the trimmed green beans and a ½ cup of water to a microwave-safe bowl.
1 Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, making sure that it’s tightly secured on all sides of the bowl.
2 Microwave the plastic wrap-covered bowl of green beans + water for 3 ½ minutes (for al dente green beans) or 5 minutes (for baby-friendly textured green beans).
3 Using oven mitts if needed, remove the bowl from the microwave. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and either use a slotted spoon to serve or strain before serving.
