Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked
- 2 tablespoons toasted almond slices (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the green beans, removing the stem ends.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a generous pinch of salt.
Step 3
Blanch the green beans in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the beans again and set aside.
Step 4
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 6
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic-infused oil.
Step 7
Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and butter. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, tossing frequently, until the green beans are heated through and well coated.
Step 8
Season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Step 9
If desired, sprinkle the toasted almond slices over the green beans for added crunch and flavor.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
