What You Start With

  • Plain green beans (fresh, frozen, or from a meal tray)

Step 1: Add Butter or Oil

Add:

  • 1–2 teaspoons butter or

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

This adds richness and helps the seasoning stick.

Step 2: Add Simple Seasoning

Add a small pinch of:

  • Garlic powder

  • Onion powder

  • Lemon pepper or black pepper Salt (if needed)

  • Mix gently.

Step 3: Heat It Up

Warm the green beans in a pan or microwave for a few minutes.

Heating helps the flavor soak in instead of sitting on top.
