Let's Get Started
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook until the beans are heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top of the vegetables just before serving.
