1
Prepare the Green Beans
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Prepare a pot of boiling salted water.
2
Blanch the Green Beans
Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately place in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
3
Toast the Almonds
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced almonds and toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown.
4
Add Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5
Combine and Serve
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet, drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to combine and heat through before serving.
