We had a chat in my stories about boring side dishes and it was hilarious. Seriously, if you aren't following me on Instagram, you should. We have so much fun! We officially voted rice, broccoli, lifeless salads and green beans to be kicked to the curb ASAP! And I am in agreement with that!🙋🏽‍♀️

I’m excited to share my easy and got-to recipe for spruced up green beans! These Crispy Green Beans, Caramelized Onions and Mushrooms in a soy-garlic sauce will have you question any doubt you ever had about green beans and mushrooms!

Let's go over the recipe, it only take a few minutes to whip this baby up!

Prepare fresh green beans by cleaning and trimming the ends. In a large skillet on medium/high heat, place cooking oil in pan and add garlic, sauté until fragrant.

Add onion, salt and pepper and sauté until translucent adding small amounts of water (to release charred bits) until completely cooked down.

Add mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and are cooked through. Add green beans and sauté for 5-7 minutes until well coated and combined with ingredients and slightly charred on the outside (should be crunchy).

Finish by topping with soy sauce and toss until coated and add additional salt and pepper if needed. Enjoy!
