1
Wash the Green Beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the ends of the beans by cutting off the stem end using a sharp knife.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or garlic press.

3
Sauté the Green Beans
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the trimmed green beans and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Add Garlic and Seasonings
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and continue to sauté the green beans for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss the green beans to ensure they are evenly coated.
