Nope! No need to thaw the frozen green beans. I toss them in frozen and let the simmering water in the pan do all the work.
The amount of time you simmer the frozen green beans will determine how crispy or soft they will turn out.
How to Saute Frozen Green Beans
The easiest way to saute frozen green beans is to bring the ingredients to a simmer in a saute pan and let all of the liquid evaporate out of the pan.
This cooks the beans perfectly while making sure all the delicious flavor stays in the pan with the green beans.
