1
Prepare the Green Beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water and trim the ends.
2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge into ice water to stop cooking.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
4
Combine and Season
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet. Toss to coat with the garlic oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice, and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
5
Serve
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and enjoy as a fresh side option.
