Step 1

Wash your beans and dry them with a paper towel.

Step 2

Trim the ends by placing the green beans on a cutting surface and using a sharp knife.

Step 3

Lay a piece of parchment paper on a large cooking tray and place the green beans on top, lying flat (not piled up). Toss them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with a little salt.

Step 4

Broil in the oven for 4-8 minutes (keep an eye on them as they can burn very quickly!), until the beans are lightly charred and wrinkled, soft but still a little crunchy. Transfer the beans to a paper towel and set aside.

Step 5

In a pan over medium high heat, add almonds and sauté until the almonds turn a light golden brown color. Add butter and lemon and stir.

Step 6

Add the green beans and saute for 1 minute.

Step 7

Turn off the heat, transfer to a plate and season with salt and pepper.
