1
Wash and Trim the Green Beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim the ends by snapping them off or cutting them with a knife.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

3
Blanch the Green Beans
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking.
4
Sauté the Green Beans
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5
Combine and Season
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well to coat the green beans in the oil and garlic mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
6
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the lemon juice over the green beans and toss to combine.

7
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the sautéed green beans to a serving dish. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
