Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Slice garlic thinly so it cooks evenly and infuses the oil without burning; watch for a light golden color, not brown.
Add lemon zest just before serving to preserve its bright aroma and prevent it from drying out during cooking.
Use medium heat to prevent the garlic from scorching while the beans cook through.
Trim the stem ends of green beans before cooking for a cleaner presentation and more even cooking.

Substitutions

Olive oil → avocado oil or neutral vegetable oil (same quantity)
Fresh lemon juice and zest → lime juice and zest (same quantity; flavor shifts to citrusy-bright)
Garlic cloves → shallots, thinly sliced (use 1 medium shallot for similar depth)
