Directions
Step 1
Wash the green beans thoroughly under cold running water and trim the ends.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the green beans and blanch them for 3-4 minutes, until they are bright green and slightly tender.
Step 3
Immediately drain the green beans and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, drain and set aside.
Step 4
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
Step 5
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 7
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and season with sea salt and black pepper.
Step 8
Sauté the green beans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are heated through and coated with the garlicky butter.
Step 9
Add the lemon juice and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 10
If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the green beans and cook for another minute until the cheese is slightly melted.
Step 11
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
