• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

• dash garlic powder

• 3 tablespoons water

• 2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• salt and pepper to taste

1. Wash your produce and trim the green beans by cutting or snapping off stems. 

2. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the green beans, sprinkle with garlic, and toss to coat.

3. Add water to the pan, cover with a lid, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the beans are tender but still have a slight crunch. 

4. Transfer green beans to a bowl, plate or platter leaving any excess water behind. Season with lemon zest and lemon juice. Serve with love!

Leftovers can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
