- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tsp salt, plus more for the blanching water

- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, about 3–4 minutes. Drain through a colander and immediately rinse under cold running water until cool to the touch, then shake off excess water.

Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides and the butter turns a light golden-brown and smells nutty, about 3–4 minutes.
