Tips:

  • Choose fresh green beans: Look for beans that are bright green, crisp, and free of blemishes.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the ends of the green beans before cooking.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans in boiling water for a few minutes helps to preserve their color and crispness.
  • Cook the green beans until tender: Green beans should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked green beans will lose their flavor and texture.
  • Add the bacon and almonds at the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the bacon from becoming overcooked and the almonds from burning.
  • Season the green beans with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
