For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving. To save time, you can blanch the green beans ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator until ready to use. Just be sure to refresh them in an ice bath to maintain their color and crispness. Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic to your preference. If you're not a fan of garlic, you can omit it altogether. For a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil or a vegan butter alternative.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Green Beans: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until bright green and crisp-tender, about 3-5 minutes. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and preserve their vibrant color. Drain well. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
02
StepToast the Almonds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the slivered almonds until fragrant and lightly golden, about 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. Remove from skillet and set aside. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
03
StepSauté the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic. (Cook time: 2 minutes)
04
StepCombine and Finish: Add the drained green beans to the skillet with the garlic butter. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly and cook until heated through, about 2-3 minutes. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
05
StepGarnish and Serve: Transfer the green beans to a serving dish. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds. Serve immediately and enjoy!
