Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. Drain the beans and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced onion, and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
3. Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the butter, garlic, and onion mixture.
4. Season the green beans with dried thyme, paprika, cayenne pepper (if desired), salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
5. Continue cooking the green beans for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are crisp-tender and the flavors have melded together.
6. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the green beans to a serving dish. Serve hot.
