1 garlic clove, minced
⅛ cup sugar
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
salt , ½ to ¾ tsp
½ tsp ground black pepper

Some people who prepare this dish uses less white sugar or substitute them with honey, muscovado, or brown sugar. Some people who like the sourness of mustard even add this in the recipe. This marinade tastes perfect with asparagus or any other fresh greens. You can also add some cooked chickpeas to the green beans or simply enjoy alone them with rice.
