Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Toast the Almonds: Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced almonds and toast them, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove the almonds from the skillet and transfer them to a plate to cool.
- Cook the Green Beans: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the trimmed green beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are bright green and softened, approximately 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Combine: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute more, stirring often, until fragrant. Then add back the toasted almonds and sprinkle the kosher salt over the mixture. Stir everything together to combine the flavors evenly.
Notes
- Trim the green beans by snapping off the stem ends for a cleaner presentation.
- Keep a close eye when toasting the almonds as they can burn quickly.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
- This recipe pairs beautifully with roasted meats or as part of a vegetable-centric meal.
- Using kosher salt enhances the flavor without making it overly salty.
