Best Way To Cook Frozen Green Beans

We can’t always get fresh green beans. When the choice is between canned or frozen green beans, always go with frozen. While they are not as crisp as fresh beans, frozen green beans do have the flavor.

The best way to cook frozen green beans is to fry them in a super hot pan. This recipe adds the flavor of lemon and dill to compliment the green beans. But frozen beans can simply be fried up in oil and salt as well.
