Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the beans until just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

In the same pot or in another pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sage and fry for about 1 minute.

Step 3

When the sage starts to get crisp, add the beans and sauté for a couple of minutes. Season with salt.

Step 4

Add the garlic and sauté until the garlic is fragrant and starts to color. Remove from heat, squeeze a bit of lemon juice, toss, and serve.
