Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim the ends of the beans by cutting off about 1 inch from each end.

  2. 2

    Mince the Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or garlic press.

  3. 3

    Halve the Cherry Tomatoes

    Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half lengthwise.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Green Beans

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the trimmed green beans and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to become tender.

  2. 5

    Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant. Season the green beans with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Cherry Tomatoes

    Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes soften.

  4. 7

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the green bean mixture. Toss to combine and adjust seasoning if necessary.
