Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant but not golden.

Add the green beans, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the garlic and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes until the green beans become fork-tender but still crisp.

In the same skillet used to cook the green beans, add the marcona almonds and toast them for about 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown. Remove from heat and add on top of the green beans.
