Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Green Beans

    Wash the green beans thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends off each bean.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Cook the Green Beans

    Add the green beans to the skillet. Toss to coat them in the garlic oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender but still crisp.

    Finish with Lemon

    Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked green beans. Toss gently to combine.
