Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons Roasted Onion & Garlic Infused Olive Oil Blend
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds toasted, optional

Equipment

  • 1 Large pot For blanching the green beans
  • 1 Large skillet Wide enough to sauté the beans in a single layer
  • 1 Colander For draining the beans
  • 1 Mixing bowl For the ice bath
  • 1 Tongs or spatula For tossing and serving

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the green beans for 2 minutes. Drain and transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water, then drain again and pat dry.
  2. Heat the Roasted Onion & Garlic Infused Olive Oil Blend and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds, just until fragrant.
  3. Add the green beans, salt, and black pepper, then sauté for 4 to 6 minutes, tossing often, until the beans are crisp-tender and lightly coated.
  4. Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, then cook for 30 seconds more so the flavor settles into the pan.
  5. Transfer to a serving dish and finish with Parmesan and toasted almonds if using. Serve warm.

Notes

For the best texture, keep the beans crisp-tender instead of soft. If you want a softer finish, sauté them a minute or two longer before adding the lemon. The Parmesan and almonds are optional, but they add a nice savory finish and crunch.
