A delightful side dish featuring tender green beans and juicy cherry tomatoes, enhanced with aromatic herbs and a touch of butter.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, then add the green beans and cook until tender yet crisp.
Blanching the green beans in boiling water helps retain their vibrant color and crisp texture.
Drain the green beans and set them aside.
Draining the beans thoroughly prevents excess water from diluting the flavors in the next steps.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the butter, which can affect the flavor.
Add the garlic powder, sugar, basil, salt, and pepper to the melted butter and stir to combine.
Mixing the seasonings in the butter evenly distributes the flavors.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they are just softened.
Avoid overcooking the tomatoes to maintain their shape and fresh taste.
Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the seasoned butter mixture.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the beans or tomatoes.
Serve the dish warm as a side, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
Serving the dish immediately ensures the best flavor and texture.
