1
Prepare the Haricot Vert
Wash the haricot vert under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the ends of the beans by cutting off the stem end.
2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the haricot vert and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (you can mince the garlic cloves or simply slice them thinly) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
4
Combine and Season
Add the blanched haricot vert to the skillet, tossing them with the sautéed garlic. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.
5
Add Almonds (if using)
If you are using sliced almonds, sprinkle them over the haricot vert and toss gently to combine. Cook for an additional minute to warm the almonds.
6
Serve
Transfer the haricot vert to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish.
