Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound green beans trimmed
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup raw sliced almonds
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large high-sided skillet set over medium heat.
When the oil is warm, add the green beans and toss to combine. Season with a generous pinch of salt (about ½ teaspoon). Place a lid on the skillet and allow the beans to cook for 2 minutes.
Remove the beans to a plate and set them aside.
In the same skillet (no need to clean it), melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until they are just beginning to brown.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the green beans back to the pan and toss to combine. Cook for an additional minute, just to re-warm the beans.
Squeeze over the fresh lemon juice and toss to combine. Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200F oven for up to 45 minutes.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
