1
Wash the Green Beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
2
Trim the Ends
Using a sharp knife, trim the stem ends of the green beans and discard the ends.
3
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

4
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
5
Cook the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
6
Add the Green Beans
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic and olive oil.
7
Season the Beans
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the green beans, tossing them to combine.
8
Sauté the Green Beans
Cook the green beans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender-crisp.

Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the green beans. Toss to combine.
