1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans thoroughly under running water. Trim the ends and cut them into 2-inch pieces.
2
Blanch the Green Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Combine and Season
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss to coat with the garlic oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
5
Serve
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
