1
Trim the Green Beans
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water. Trim the ends of each green bean using a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to remove the tough stem ends.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely using a knife or a garlic press.

3
Heat the Olive 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 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5
Cook the Green Beans
Add the trimmed green beans to the skillet. Toss to coat them in the garlic oil and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender yet still crisp.
6
Season the Beans
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the green beans. Stir well to combine and continue cooking for another minute.
7
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked green beans. Toss to combine.
