Toast the hazelnuts: For optimal flavor, toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before chopping. Make ahead: The green beans can be blanched and shocked up to a day in advance. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Add the olive oil, lemon zest, and hazelnuts just before serving. Reheating: If reheating, gently sauté the green beans in a pan with a little olive oil over medium heat until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them mushy.
