Ingredients
Scale
1 pound of fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for brightness)
1/4 cup sliced almonds (for an added crunch)
Instructions
Prepare the Green Beans: Start by rinsing the green beans thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends, ensuring they are ready for cooking.
Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until it’s golden and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the Green Beans: Once your garlic is ready, toss in the prepared green beans. Stir well to coat with the garlic butter. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
Season to Perfection: Sprinkle in red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning and add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Finish with Almonds: If using almonds, toss them in the skillet right before serving to add a fantastic crunch.
