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

3
Heat Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
4
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the heated oil and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
5
Cook Green Beans
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Toss them in the garlic oil and cook for 5-7 minutes or until they are tender but still crisp, stirring occasionally.
6
Season
Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the green beans.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss again to combine.
