Ingredients

1 pound fresh green beans
1.5 ounces slivered almonds
2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Collect all necessary ingredients.
Place green beans in a microwave-safe dish with a small amount of water covering the base. Microwave on high for 8 to 10 minutes, until nearly tender. Drain the beans in a colander and rinse under cold water to maintain their vibrant green color.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced almonds and toast for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown. Be careful not to burn them.
Remove the skillet from the heat and add butter, allowing it to melt completely. Return the skillet to medium heat, add minced garlic, and cook until fragrant. Incorporate the green beans, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir continuously until heated through, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve immediately and enjoy this tasty side dish!
