1
Prepare the Haricots Verts
Wash the haricots verts under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities. Trim the ends of the beans by cutting off about 1 inch from each end.

2
Blanch the Beans
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the trimmed haricots verts and blanch for about 3-4 minutes until they turn bright green and are tender-crisp. Drain and 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 haricots verts to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Toss to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, tossing again to ensure even coating.

5
Garnish and Serve
Transfer the haricots verts to a serving dish. Sprinkle with slivered almonds and chopped parsley for garnish. Serve warm.
