Ingredients
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and prepare a bowl with ice water.
Blanch the green beans for 3–4 minutes until just tender, then transfer to the ice bath to stop cooking. Drain well.
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and toast for 3–5 minutes until golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add garlic (if using) and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the drained green beans to the skillet and toss to coat in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir in the toasted almonds and lemon zest. Toss gently to combine.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm.
