Notes

  • This is a French green bean recipe, but it can be made with string beans, too! Just set the pressure cooker to 1 minute instead of 0 and cut the stems off the string beans first.
  • This steamed green beans recipe comes with its own seasoning in the form of garlic butter, but feel free to change it up! I also love adding a splash of lemon or a dash of chili powder!
  • The great thing about this recipe is you don't need to use a steamer basket. This green bean dish is cooked directly in the water!
