Green Beans Almondine

The contrast of bright, fresh beans and golden almonds makes it an elegant side for weeknights or holiday tables alike. Light yet flavorful, it highlights clean textures and a savory, toasty bite.

Place the beans in a microwave-safe casserole dish with enough water to cover the bottom. Microwave on high until almost tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold running water to keep them bright green.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, watching closely to avoid burning, until they just start to turn golden, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter to melt. Return to the heat and add the garlic. Stir in the green beans, season with salt and pepper, and keep stirring until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
