- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add the green beans. Cook for 3 minutes then drain and transfer the green beans to a large bowl of ice water for 1-2 minutes then drain. (This will stop the cooking process and help keep the beans bright green.)

- Add the green beans and lemon zest and saute for 3-4 minutes until the beans are tender.
