Tips for Perfect Green Beans
- Fresh Ingredients. Using fresh green beans, ripe cherry tomatoes, and high-quality olive oil will make a huge difference in the flavor of this dish.
- Cook the green beans until crisp tender. Blanching the green beans helps retain their vibrant color and crisp texture, ensuring they don’t become overcooked during sautéing.
- Bursting Tomatoes. Allowing the tomatoes to burst in the skillet is important. It creates a delicious, naturally sweet sauce that coats the green beans and shallots beautifully.

Instructions
In a medium pot or Dutch oven, add shallots (4) and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil (½ cup). Turn heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots are golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Remove shallots with a slotted spoon or fork and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Remove all but 3 tbsp of the shallot-infused oil from the pot (or if you're not making the shallots, just add 3 tbsp oil). Turn up heat to high.
Once oil is hot, add the garlic (4 cloves), followed by the green beans (2 lb), and then the tomatoes (24 oz) on top. Season with salt (1 tsp) and pepper (¼ tsp).
Cook, stirring very infrequently, until green beans are tender and tomatoes are burst and the juices have thickened, about 10 minutes.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the fried shallots and flaky salt.
