Method

  1. 1

    Prep

    Rinse the green beans and trim the stem ends. Pat dry and set aside.

  2. 2

    Warm the oil

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  3. 3

    Sauté garlic

    Add minced garlic to the hot oil and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds; avoid browning.

  4. 4

    Cook beans

    Add the green beans to the skillet. Sauté, stirring frequently, for 4–6 minutes until they are bright green and crisp-tender.

  5. 5

    Season

    Season with salt and pepper. Stir to coat and cook for an additional 30 seconds to bloom the flavors.

  6. 6

    Finish

    Remove from heat and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately.
