These garlic green beans can be made with other nuts, or bacon if you want. I have only made this dish with fresh green beans, but it would probably work OK with frozen one. In that case, I would defrost the beans, but not cook them before the final step. The carb count is similar.

Ingredients

1	lb. green beans, remove stem end
1	tbsp olive oil
2	cloves of garlic, crushed
3	tbsp pine nuts
1	Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Cook green beans for 2 to 3 minutes, either in a lot of salted boiling water (preferred) or in the microwave. You want them to be just barely fork-tender, but still retain their bright green color.
   
   
2. Heat oil in skillet over medium heat until hot, and sauté crushed garlic and pine nuts for about a minute, until garlic is fragrant.
