1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim the ends off the green beans and set aside.
2
Cook the Green Beans
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain again after a few minutes.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Combine and Serve
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with the garlic. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve warm.
