1
Wash and Trim the Green Beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the beans by cutting off about half an inch from each end.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a 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 to the skillet. Sauté the beans for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4
Add Garlic and Seasoning
After 5 minutes, add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Continue to sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
5
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed green beans. Toss well to coat and serve immediately.
