Green Beans Almondine
Green beans almondine is elegant, delicious, and super easy to make. It's a go-to side dish for holidays and family meals.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt (use to taste if using salted butter)
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1 to 1.5 lbs green beans, trimmed
Instructions
- Melt the butter and salt in a skillet and add the sliced almonds. Cook over medium heat, stirring almost constantly, until the butter is browned and the almonds are golden. This will take about 5 minutes, give or take. Then set the pan aside. Note: stay by the pan because you don't want the butter to burn.
- Put the trimmed beans in a large microwaveable bowl with 1/2 cup water. Cover the bowl with a paper towel and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Remove the bowl and give the beans a good toss. Cover again and microwave for an additional 2 minutes.
- Drain the beans immediately and add to the pan with the butter and almonds. Give everything a really good toss, over medium heat if the butter has cooled.
- Transfer the beans to a serving bowl and serve immediately.
