Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Roast bacon for 15 to 20 minutes or until the bacon is crisp but no breakable. Remove from oven and cut into 1/2 inch pieces.

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Boil the green beans for 5 minutes. Strain.

Add olive oil to a hot pan over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering add the green beans and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add the bacon and garlic and saute for an additional 90 seconds, or until the garlic begins to darken but not burn.

Remove from heat. Plate and serve.
