1
Prepare the Green Beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the green beans by snapping them off or cutting them with a knife.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
4
Sauté the Green Beans
Add the trimmed green beans to the heated skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Add Garlic and Seasonings
Add the minced garlic, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper to the skillet. Continue to sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
6
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
