Ingredients:

1/3 cup slivered or sliced raw almonds

1 pinch sea salt

1 lb organic green beans stems and rough ends trimmed

1 tbsp avocado oil or other neutral oil with high smoke point

3 cloves garlic minced

1 tbsp butter

Sea salt and black pepper to taste

3 cloves garlic minced

1 Tbsp dairy-free butter or sub organic dairy butter as needed

Instructions:

Heat a large rimmed skillet over medium heat.

Once hot, add almonds and salt and toast for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until toasted.

Watch closely and be careful not to burn. Then remove from pan and set aside.

Rinse and dry the green beans and remove any stems or rough ends with a knife or scissors.

Heat the same large rimmed skillet from earlier over medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the oil. Wait 1 minute for the oil to get hot, then add green beans.

Season generously with salt and pepper.

Cover and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring / tossing occasionally.

You want the heat to remain high and the cover tight so the green beans get browned but also tender.

Turn down heat slightly if they’re close to burning.

In the last few minutes of cooking, add the minced garlic and butter and toss to coat.

Cook for 1-2 minutes more, tossing frequently until garlic is fragrant and the green beans are golden brown and tender.

Add the almonds and toss.
