Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans, removing any tough ends.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 3-4 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to bubble slightly.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 5
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly with the garlic butter.
Step 6
Season with salt and black pepper, then cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are heated through and lightly sautéed.
Step 7
Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor.
Step 8
If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top before serving.
Step 9
Serve the garlic butter green beans warm as a side dish and enjoy!
