1 pound green beans, ends popped or chopped off
2 tsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced

Prepare green beans and bring a pot of water to a boil. Allow green beans to boil for 4-5 minutes, ensuring they don’t change color and lose their crispness. 

Drain green beans and add to an ice bath. [optional step]

Drain and set aside until ready to sauté. 

Heat a sauce pan or skillet on medium heat with olive oil for at least 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 60 seconds. Add green beans and cook for 3-5 minutes. Season with salt & pepper.
