1
Trim the Green Beans
Start by rinsing the green beans under cold water. Trim the ends of each bean to remove any tough or fibrous parts.
2
Blanch the Green Beans
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the trimmed green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

3
Toast the Almonds
In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4
Sauté the Green Beans
In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the blanched green beans and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are heated through.
5
Combine Ingredients
Add the toasted almonds to the skillet with the green beans. Season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for another minute.

6
Plate the Dish
Transfer the green bean almandine to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish.
