Green Beans Almondine

Toasted almonds, with their delicate crunchy texture, are a perfect foil for these garlicky green beans. The resulting side dish is as elegant as it is simple—which is to say, very.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• 1 pound green beans, trimmed
• 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast until golden brown, about 2 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
2. 2Heat the remaining olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and cook, stirring occasionally until bright green and softened, 8-10 minutes.
3. 3Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir in the toasted almonds and salt until combined.
