Blanch the Green Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trimmed green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for a few minutes, then drain again.

Sauté the Beans
In the same skillet used for toasting the almonds, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
