  • Check water level, adding more if needed, and stir green beans. Replace the lid and microwave until tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes more.

You can use dill or marjoram in place of basil. If using fresh herbs, be sure to add them towards the last couple minutes of cooking. Vary flavors by using different specialty oils.
