1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash the green beans thoroughly under running water. Trim the ends of the beans and cut them in half if desired.
2
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
3
Cook the Green Beans
Add the prepared green beans to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat the beans in the oil and garlic.
4
Sauté Until Tender
Sauté the green beans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender but still crisp.
5
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and add the lemon juice. Toss to combine and serve immediately.
