1
Prepare the Haricots Verts
Rinse the haricots verts under cold water and trim the ends using a sharp knife. Set aside.

2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
4
Combine Ingredients
Add the blanched haricots verts to the skillet with the garlic. Toss to coat in the oil and garlic. Squeeze in the lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

5
Finish with Garnish
Remove from heat and transfer the haricots verts to a serving platter. Top with toasted almonds and chopped fresh parsley before serving.
