- ⅓ cup almonds sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 pounds green beans washed and trimmed
- ½ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Toast ⅓ cup sliced almonds in a large skillet over medium-low heat for about 6 minutes. Stir often to prevent them from burning.

- Transfer the almond mixture to a small bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice,. Set aside.
- Add 2 pounds green beans, ½ cup water, and ¼ teaspoon salt to the skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 6-8 minutes, until the beans are nearly tender.
- Remove the lid and continue to cook for about 3 minutes until the liquid has evaporated.
- Remove the beans from the heat and toss them with the almond mixture until fully combined. Taste and season with additional salt if desired. Serve immediately.
