In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
3
Cook the Green Beans
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to coat with the oil and garlic.
4
Sauté the Green Beans
Cook the green beans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp.

Finish and Serve
