Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound fresh green beans
1 ½ ounces slivered almonds
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste

Tips:

  • Trim the green beans. Remove the tough ends of the beans before cooking.
  • Blanch the green beans. This will help them retain their bright green color and crisp-tender texture.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade will help to infuse the green beans with flavor.
  • Roast the green beans at a high temperature. This will help them to caramelize and develop a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Serve the green beans immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:
