    I purchased the green beans to make this a couple of days ago, but didn’t and would like to serve it in another few days, but my green beans definitely won’t be as fresh then. Do you think it would be ok to cook, freeze, and then reheat in a pan? Should I just blanche the green beans and freeze them, then make this with frozen beans, taking slightly longer to heat with the garlic and oil?

      Hi Sarah,
      Yes, blanching them then freezing them should work. But before cooking, make sure to completely thaw out the green beans and gently press out any excess moisture with a paper towel. Have fun and let us know how this method works! Thank you!
