Calories: 94kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh green beans
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1.5-2 Tbsp salted butter
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cover the bottom inch of a large saucepan with water. Place a steamer basket inside, cover, and bring to a boil.
- While the water heats, rinse the beans and trim off any stems.
- As soon as the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium. Add the beans and steam for 6–8 minutes, depending on your preferred texture. When done, briefly rinse the beans in cold water. Place them in a serving dish and set aside.
- In a small sauté pan over medium-low to medium heat, toast the almonds, stirring frequently for 4 minutes or until lightly golden. Add the butter and garlic, stirring continuously until the butter melts (up to 30 seconds). Remove from heat.
- Pour the almond mixture over the beans and sprinkle with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until well combined.
Notes
To STORE leftovers, place cooled beans in an airtight container and refrigerate in the refrigerator for 2–3 days. If lemon juice was added, the green beans may turn a duller green over time, but they will still taste delicious.
Cool leftovers completely, then FREEZE them in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 2–3 months.
REHEAT the green beans in a large skillet with a little added butter or olive oil on the stove top over medium heat, or warm them in the microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.
