1
Wash and Trim
Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the beans using a sharp knife.
2
Prepare Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
3
Halve Tomatoes
Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Set aside.

4
Sauté Green Beans
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the trimmed green beans and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Add Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the green beans and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
6
Incorporate Tomatoes
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and stir gently. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle lemon juice over the green bean and tomato mixture. Toss well to combine.
