1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans under cold water and trim the ends.
2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking.
3
Sauté the Beans
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4
Combine and Season
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet. Toss to combine with garlic and olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
5
Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
