Ingredients

4 servings
Garlic4 cloves
Olive oil3 tbsp
Salt0.5 tsp
Black pepper0.25 tsp

Method

1

Trim both ends from green beans and rinse. Pat dry with paper towels. Mince the garlic cloves.

2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

3

Add minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let it brown.

4

Add trimmed green beans and stir to coat with oil. Spread in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes.

5

Stir the beans and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 6–8 minutes until tender-crisp and lightly blistered. Beans should retain some firmness.

6

Remove from heat. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

7

Transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with lemon juice and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
