Tips for steaming
Rinse the green beans well right before adding them to the skillet. The extra liquid (in addition to the ¼ cup of water) helps steam them with out drying out the pan too quickly.
Zesting citrus
Moreover, zest the lemon prior to juicing. It's too difficult to try and zest a lemon after it's been cut or juiced.
Dietary considerations
These stove top green beans are vegan, paleo, Whole30, and keto friendly! While many fruits are high in sugar and not appropriate for a keto diet, lemon juice is keto friendly. This recipe has 9g carbs and 6g net carbs per serving.
