Print Recipe

Garlic Butter Green Beans with Almonds is a simple yet flavorful side dish made with fresh green beans sautéed in garlic butter and topped with toasted almonds for added crunch and nuttiness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted 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 water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the green beans to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter. Cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through and slightly crisp.
  5. In a small dry pan, toast the sliced almonds over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden, stirring frequently.
  6. Sprinkle toasted almonds over the green beans before serving.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Use haricots verts for a thinner, more tender green bean option.
  • Make it vegan by substituting vegan butter.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a zesty finish.
