1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans under cold water and trim the ends. Remove any strings if necessary.
2
Blanch the Green Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to 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 and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4
Combine and Season
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet, along with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.
5
Finish with Almonds
Remove from heat and stir in the sliced almonds. Serve warm.
