    350 gm Green Beans, 2 cloves Garlic, 1½ tbsp Olive Oil
  • STEP 3: Saute for a couple of minutes and add in the spices. Mix well and cook for another minute or how done you like your beans
    Salt, ½ tsp Pepper, ¼ tsp Smoked paprika
    Garlic Lemon Beans
  • SERVING: Turn off the gas and add the lemon juice. Mix and let it sit for at least 30 seconds before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. I generally keep the overall cook time(with the gas turned on) for beans around 5 minutes on high heat that keeps it nice and crunchy with all the nice flavor
  2. You can add the lemon juice while gas on and cook for a couple of minutes or turn off the gas and then add it and let it sit to absorb the lemon flavor while it cools down a bit for serving
