- 60 grams slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes until vibrant and just tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. After a few minutes, drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the slivered almonds and toast them, stirring frequently, for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until it is fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Add the drained green beans to the skillet and toss them to coat in the buttery almond mixture.
Step 6
Drizzle the lemon juice over the green beans and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly until the green beans are heated through.
Step 8
Transfer the green beans almondine to a serving dish and serve immediately, enjoying the delightful crunch and flavor.
