Remove the almonds from the skillet and reserve. Return the skillet to the heat and add the butter and olive oil and heat until the butter has melted.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
- Trim the green beans properly: Cut off the ends of the beans, but leave the strings intact. This will help the beans cook evenly.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp: Overcooking will make the beans mushy, so be careful not to cook them for too long.
- Season the green beans well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices. You can also add other seasonings, such as herbs or spices, to taste.
- Serve the green beans hot or cold: Green beans are delicious served hot as a side dish or cold in a salad.
