1
Trim the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans under cold water. Using a sharp knife, trim the ends of the green beans and remove any strings if necessary.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press. Set aside.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
5
Add the Green Beans
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic and olive oil mixture.
6
Season and Cook
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the green beans. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are bright green and tender-crisp.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed green beans. Toss to combine, and serve warm.
