Notes
- Always use a large enough pot of water when boiling green beans so that none of the pods are overlapping.
- This allows them to cook evenly and prevents the vegetables from becoming too soft or mushy.
- Additionally, it is important to check their doneness periodically with a fork so you can adjust your time accordingly (the longer they boil, the softer they get!).
- Finally, remember to season them to your liking for added flavor and texture.
