Servings: 2–4
Preparation Time: 11 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2–3 cups fresh green beans, ends trimmed and cut in half if very long
• Virgin Coconut Oil
• 2/3 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• salt and lemon pepper (or black pepper) to taste
• grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions:

Sauté the green beans in a few tablespoons of oil.

A few minutes or so before the desired degree of doneness, add more oil, if necessary, and the garlic and tomatoes. Sauté a few more minutes.

Remove pan from heat. Add salt and pepper and a good sprinkling of cheese, if desired. Serve warm or hot. (I haven’t tried them cold; they might also be good that way.)

This could probably work for other veggies such as broccoli.
