How to cook fresh green beans
These Italian green beans with tomatoes and garlic were so tasty the first night but also great as leftovers. I had some leftover Spanish Rice and then those Air Fryer Chicken Legs you see peeking in there. 🙂 So good! The combo was my lunch all week!
After you saute all the veggies together – I just grated a little Romano on top and served them. I really like the Fire Roasted tomatoes for recipes like this where you really taste the tomatoes. It just adds an extra layer of flavor.
If you’re looking for other easy side dishes to make – I’ve got you covered!

– Copycat Mary Mac’s Macaroni & Cheese – a classic dish and so cheesy!
– Copycat Honey Baked Ham Cinnamon Apples – these are so good and great as a side dish or a dessert.

This is a delicious recipe! I have made it for many years with fresh green beans from our garden! The only change I make is using fresh basil we grow.
