Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Almond Green Beans.
Step 1
To start, grab a saucepan and toss in your trimmed green beans, covering them with water.
Step 2
Bring the water to a lively boil and let the beans cook for about five minutes until they’re perfectly al dente.
Step 3
Once they’re done, drain the beans and set them aside, letting their vibrant color shine.
Step 4
Next, take a large skillet and melt some butter over low heat, allowing its rich aroma to fill your kitchen.
Step 5
Once the butter is melted, drizzle in some olive oil and give it a gentle stir to blend the two together.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to add the slivered almonds to the skillet.
Step 7
Make sure they’re well-coated in the buttery goodness, and keep stirring them continuously.
Step 8
You’ll want to watch closely as they start to turn a lovely golden brown, which usually takes just a few minutes.
Step 9
When they reach that perfect shade, carefully remove the toasted almonds from the skillet and transfer them to a small bowl.
Step 10
Keep stirring them for about a minute to help them cool down a bit, and don’t forget to sprinkle in some salt to enhance their flavor.
Step 11
Now, it’s time for the grand finale! Pour those delicious toasted almonds over your cooked green beans and give everything a gentle toss, ensuring each bean is beautifully coated.
Step 12
Serve this delightful dish warm, and enjoy the wonderful combination of flavors and textures.
