This French classic is a favorite holiday side. Toasting the almonds in butter adds a nutty richness to the dish that’s perfectly balanced out by a squeeze of lemon juice added at the end

• 2 1/2 pounds green beans, preferably haricot verts, trimmed
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1 cup (3.5 ounces) sliced almonds, preferably skin-on
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• Green beans can be blanched 1 day ahead. Let dry, then transfer to an airtight container and chill.
