- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic to the heated oil, sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Add the prepared green beans and red bell pepper slices to the skillet, stirring well to coat them with the garlic-infused oil.
Step 7
Season the vegetables with salt and black pepper, continuing to sauté for about 10 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and the red peppers are slightly softened.
Step 8
Remove from heat and drizzle with fresh lemon juice, tossing to combine and distribute the juice evenly.
Step 9
Transfer the sautéed green beans and red peppers to a serving dish, then sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
