1
Prepare the Green Beans
Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends. If desired, cut them into smaller pieces.
2
Prep the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.
3
Slice the Prosciutto
Cut the prosciutto into small strips or pieces.

4
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
5
Cook the Green Beans
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir well to coat them with the garlic and olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the green beans are bright green and tender-crisp.
6
Add the Prosciutto
Add the sliced prosciutto to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the prosciutto is slightly crispy and the green beans are cooked through.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss to combine and adjust seasoning if necessary.
