- ⅓ cup (31 g) sliced almonds
- 6 teaspoons garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a rolling boil.

- Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
- To a large bowl, add cold water and plenty of ice for an ice bath.
- Transfer the beans to the bowl of ice water. (This will stop the cooking process.)
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Add the onions and cook until translucent (5-8 minutes).
- Add the remaining butter and sliced almonds, cooking another 4-5 minutes, stirring until almonds are golden brown.
- Add the garlic and cook an additional minute.
