Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water and trim the ends. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Blanch the Green Beans

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  4. 4

    Combine the Ingredients

    Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the green beans in the garlic oil.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if using. Serve warm.
