Requests for vegetables make me want to do a little dance, cheer, and somersault all at once.

It’s no mistake that I call these perfect green beans. I can consistently make them in ten minutes. Oh. And they are always perfect. (Unless, I burn the garlic. P.U.)

Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large pan on the stove. Add garlic to the oil and stir for 1-2 minutes. Add the green beans and stir for 4 minutes, or until the beans are tender crisp and a bright green color. Turn off the heat. Add the lemon juice and coarse sea salt and stir again.

Toss the Panko bread crumbs into the pan and stir to coat.
