1
Prepare the Green Beans
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.
2
Blanch the Green Beans
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
3
Toast the Almonds
In a skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds and toast them for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown. Remove from the heat.
4
Sauté with Garlic
In the same skillet, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add in the blanched green beans and toss to coat.
5
Season and Serve
Season the green beans with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss in the toasted almonds. Serve warm.
