👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Trim the ends of the fresh green beans and blanch them in boiling salted water for 3-5 minutes until crisp-tender; immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop cooking, then drain well.
2. In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat; add the slivered almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add the blanched green beans to the skillet with the almonds and garlic; toss gently to coat everything evenly, and cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice is optional for brightness; serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
