Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans, trimmed

- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the trimmed green beans to the boiling water and cook for 3-5 minutes, until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

Drain the green beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 6
Add the cooked green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic oil.
Step 7
Add the chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Toss everything together until the green beans are evenly coated.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, just to warm the green beans through.
Step 9
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and serve warm or at room temperature.
