1
Prepare the Green Beans
Wash the fresh green beans under cold water and trim the ends.
2
Blanch the Green Beans
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for about 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them 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 30 seconds until fragrant.
4
Add the Green Beans
Drain the green beans from the ice water and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Add Almonds and Seasoning
Add the sliced almonds, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the almonds are toasted and the green beans are heated through.
6
Serve
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
