For best results, use a heavy-bottomed stainless steel pot to achieve an even char. Avoid non-stick pans as they will not produce the same effect. Adjust the amount of garlic and onion powder to your preference. Freshly minced garlic and onion can also be used for a more robust flavor. Do not overcook the green beans. They should be tender-crisp, not mushy. A splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a bright and spicy twist.
