1
Prepare the green beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water and trim the ends.
2
Blanch the green beans
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking.
3
Sauté the garlic
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.
4
Combine and season
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
5
Serve
Transfer the garlic green beans to a serving dish and enjoy warm.
