Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Wash the fresh green beans thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends and cut them into smaller pieces if desired.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Green Beans

    Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Seasonings

    Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the green beans are cooked to your desired tenderness.

  5. 5

    Finish with Lemon Juice

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with lemon juice. Toss to combine.

  6. 6

    Serve

    If desired, sprinkle with slivered almonds for added crunch before serving. Enjoy your sautéed green beans warm!
