Toast the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until fragrant and golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.

Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the green beans and water with a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Drain the beans, shaking off excess water, and set aside.

In the same pan, heat the olive oil and butter together. When the butter has melted, add the green beans back to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat them in the butter.

Add the minced garlic, another pinch of salt, and cracked black pepper. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Remove from heat and plate immediately. Drizzle with lemon juice, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle with lemon zest and toasted almonds before serving.
