Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans. Look for beans that are bright green in color and have no blemishes. Avoid beans that are limp or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans. Remove the ends of the beans, where the stems were attached. You can also trim the beans into smaller pieces, if desired.
  • Blanch the green beans. This will help to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Toast the almonds. This will help to bring out their flavor. To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Stir the almonds occasionally to ensure that they toast evenly.
  • Make the vinaigrette. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Combine the ingredients. In a large bowl, combine the green beans, almonds, vinaigrette, and thyme. Toss to coat.

Conclusion:

This thyme green beans with almonds recipe is a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed as part of a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner. The green beans are blanched to preserve their color and crispness, and the almonds are toasted to bring out their flavor. The vinaigrette is made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper, and it adds a tangy and flavorful dressing to the beans. The thyme adds a subtle herbaceous flavor to the dish.
