Almond Butter Green Beans
Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh green beans
  • 1 1/2 ounces slivered almonds
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by placing the beans in a microwave-safe casserole dish, ensuring there is sufficient water to cover the base of the container.
2
Microwave on high power for 8-10 minutes, or until the beans are almost tender.
3
Drain the cooked beans in a colander and immediately submerge them under cold, running water to preserve their vibrant green hue.
4
Next, heat a medium-sized frying pan over a moderate temperature.
5
Add the almonds to the pan and cook until they start to transform into a light golden color, approximately 3-5 minutes.
6
Keep a close eye on the pan to avoid burning the almonds, as this can quickly occur.
7
Once the almonds have reached the desired color, remove the pan from the heat source and add butter to melt.
8
Return the pan to the heat source and carefully add minced garlic, stirring gently to combine.
9
Introduce the cooked beans into the pan and season with salt and pepper, stirring continuously until the mixture is heated through, approximately 3-5 minutes.
