1
Prepare the Green Beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Trim the ends of the green beans using a sharp knife.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
5
Add Green Beans
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the garlic and olive oil mixture.
6
Season the Beans
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the green beans and toss to combine.
7
Cook the Green Beans
Sauté the green beans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still crisp.
8
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked green beans. Toss gently to combine.
