Good way to dress up green beans. My beans did not get any char, but that was okay - note that she says *not* to let the garlic turn brown, which mine didn't and was pleasantly mild. Between the capers and lemon, the beans were quite tangy; next time I will start with a bit less lemon (granted, I only had 12 oz beans).

Agree with Soulkitchenjen about higher heat. I should add: I just used Trader Joe’s cleaned and ready to microwave green beans, and this was such a good recipe that you’d never know I took a shortcut. Also, my son labeled them “Green Beans Piccata,” and he has a point, so if you like chicken piccata, you’ll probably like this easy and delicious recipe.

Delicious and easy. Of note, the green beans need higher heat than medium to get a little bit of char on them. My garlic never got golden. Go ahead and turn the heat up a bit.
