1
Prepare the Green Beans
Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them thoroughly.
2
Blanch the Green Beans
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the green beans. Blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking.
3
Toast the Almonds
In a skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds. Toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4
Sauté the Garlic
In the same skillet, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Combine and Season
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with garlic. Toss to coat, then season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
6
Serve
Transfer the green beans to a serving dish and sprinkle the toasted almonds on top. Serve warm.
