Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb. fresh green beans trimmed
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon sea salt to taste
- fresh ground pepper to taste
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice optional
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, until bright green and slightly tender. Remove from the water and drain. No need to do an ice bath.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Add the green beans to the skillet, toss in oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until the green beans are tender. Turn of heat, add lemon zest and toss. Taste and season with additional salt, pepper and lemon juice, if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- Don't have fresh garlic? Use 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder instead. I would just wait to add the garlic powder until after you add the green beans to the skillet otherwise the garlic powder will burn.
- Add onions: Sliced onions would make for a great addition to this dish! Just thinly slice one yellow or red onion and add them to the skillet with the garlic to sauté for a few minutes before adding the green beans.
- Swap the oil for butter: For a richer flavor, swap the oil with butter to cook the green beans.
- Add cheese: Want to add a delicious savory and salty flavor? Sprinkle the cooked green beans with freshly grated parmesan cheese before serving. The lemon + parmesan cheese combo is SO good!
- Want to add more seasonings? Go for it! Feel free to experiment with different seasonings. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add some heat, while herbs like thyme, rosemary, basil or parsley can introduce new flavors to the green beans.
