Sautéed Green Beans with Garlic
These sautéed green beans with garlic are a simple and easy side dish... Adding a little extra raw minced garlic at the end of cooking gives them an extra unexpected punch of flavor!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound fresh green beans ends trimmed
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- salt
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 large lemon zested and juiced
Instructions
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
- Add enough oil to coat the pan, about 1 tablespoon. When the oil begins to shimmer, add half of the beans. Sauté, moving the beans around the pan occasionally, until tender, about 4 minutes.

- Repeat with the second batch.
- To serve, toss the beans with the remaining raw garlic and the lemon zest and juice. Season to taste with additional salt.
