Ingredients:1.5 pounds green beans, cleaned and trimmed1-2 tablespoons olive oil (depending on pan size; basically will need enough to cover pan and coat green
beans)
4 tablespoons, butter, salted
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon garlic powder (if you
really like garlic, add more)
a few pinches of salt and ground
black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside
In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook green beans for about 3 minutes. Drain beans and transfer them to the bowl of ice water. Allow beans to cool completely. Once cool, drain beans and proceed to next steps. Or store covered in refrigirator for up to a couple of days until ready to finish cooking
Heat olive in a large skillet* over medium-high heat. Add green beans and butter to pan, tossing to coat with oil and butter. Add lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Continue to toss, cooking for about 3 minutes.
Additional salt and pepper as needed to taste.
Notes:
*Depending on skillet size, you may need to work in smaller batches, dividing lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and paper as you work through smaller amounts.
