Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
While the water is heating, prepare a large bowl with ice and water.
Trim the ends off the green beans with a sharp knife.
Carefully drop the green beans in the boiling water and allow to blanche for 3-4 minutes until the beans are just tender but still have a bit of bite to them.
Drain the green beans and add to the ice water (this is called blanching).
Drain and add to a serving platter.
Toast the almonds in a hot pan for a minute then scatter over the green beans.
