1
Trim the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim both ends of the green beans using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to remove any tough or woody parts.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press.

3
Sauté the Green Beans
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the trimmed green beans and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to become tender.
4
Add Garlic and Seasonings
Once the green beans are tender, add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and the beans are cooked to your liking.
5
Serve
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sautéed green beans to a serving dish. Optionally, drizzle with a bit more olive oil or lemon juice before serving.
