Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 60 grams sliced almonds
- 45 grams butter
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 pieces lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them thoroughly.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and blanch for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
Step 3
Drain the green beans and immediately immerse them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This will also help retain their color.
Step 4
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the sliced almonds to the skillet and toast them for 1-2 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
Step 6
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 7
Drain the green beans from the ice water and add them to the skillet with the almonds and garlic.
Step 8
Sauté the green beans for about 4-5 minutes until they are heated through.
Step 9
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 10
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the green beans and toss to combine.
Step 11
Finish by sprinkling the chopped parsley over the top before serving.
Step 12
Serve immediately as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.
