A delightful side dish featuring green beans infused with garlic and lemon, topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Steam the green beans until they are tender but still crisp.
Ensure the beans are evenly spread in the steamer for consistent cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even heating.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic, which can turn bitter.
Add the steamed green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them with the oil and garlic.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the beans.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the beans and season with salt and pepper. Mix well.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed for your preference.
Transfer the beans to a serving dish and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best flavor and texture.
