Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup almond flakes
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans by snapping off the ends.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Add the green beans to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic-infused oil.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the green beans, and continue to sauté for about 6-8 minutes or until the beans are tender-crisp and bright green.
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the almond flakes to the skillet and toss to combine, allowing them to toast lightly.
Finish by drizzling the fresh lemon juice over the green beans, and toss once more.
Serve immediately as a flavorful and healthy side dish.
