Enjoy these simple and flavorful Garlic Butter Green Beans with Almonds. They are quick to make and perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Blanch the green beans in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  2. Drain the green beans immediately and plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Add the sliced almonds to the skillet and toast them lightly, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Add the blanched green beans to the skillet. Toss everything together to coat the beans in the garlic butter.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute olive oil for some or all of the butter for a slightly different flavor.
  • Toast the almonds separately if you prefer them darker before adding the butter and garlic.
  • Sasha suggests adding a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes for a little warmth.
