1
Prepare the Haricot Verts
Trim the ends of the haricot verts and rinse them under cold water.
2
Blanch the Beans
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricot verts and blanch for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
3
Sauté the Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Combine and Season
Add the drained haricot verts to the skillet with garlic. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes. Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine.
5
Serve
Transfer the haricot verts to a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted almonds before serving.
