Wash the Green Beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
2
Trim the Ends
Using a knife or kitchen scissors, trim the stem ends of the green beans.

Heat the Olive Oil

Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
