Stovetop Green Beans with Almonds

This Stovetop Green Beans with Almonds recipe is a quick and easy side dish that goes with just about everything! I usually make this several times a week, my family loves it.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon light butter spread, I use Land O’Lakes light butter spread with canola oil
  • 12 oz fresh washed and trimmed green beans
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds

Instructions

  • Add the butter to a large saute pan and melt over medium-low heat. When melted, add the green beans and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir to coat in the butter. Cover the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, uncovering briefly to stir once in the middle. Beans should be bright green and a bit more tender.
  • Uncover and add the minced garlic and sliced almonds. Stir together and cook for another 2-4 minutes until the almonds are golden and the green beans are bright green and tender while still being a bit firm.
