A delightful twist on a classic green bean dish, featuring toasted almonds and a hint of lemon zest.
Trim the ends of the green beans.
Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors for a clean cut.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add a pinch of salt to the water to enhance the beans' flavor.
Blanch the green beans in the boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
Immediately transfer the beans to ice water to preserve their vibrant color.
Drain the beans and set them aside.
Shake off excess water to prevent splattering during sautéing.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown unless you prefer a nutty flavor.
Add the sliced almonds to the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and toss to coat with butter and almonds.
Ensure all beans are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Sprinkle the lemon zest over the beans and toss gently.
Add the zest just before serving to retain its fresh aroma.
Transfer the beans to a serving dish and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately to enjoy the dish at its best.
