1
Prepare the Green Beans
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water.
2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Combine and Season
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Serve
Remove from heat, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve warm.
