1
Wash and Trim Green Beans
Rinse the green beans under cold water. Trim the ends of the green beans by snapping off the stems.
2
Mince Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or garlic press.
3
Prepare Lemon
Cut the lemon in half and juice it, discarding the seeds.

4
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
5
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6
Cook Green Beans
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the beans evenly in the oil and garlic.
7
Sauté Beans
Cook the green beans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
8
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the green beans. Toss to combine.
