1-Pan Garlicky Green Beans with Slivered Almonds

I’ve already made this recipe twice in three days lol. Love it!
The first time I tried was with canned green beans because that’s all I had. It came out decent, but I knew it’d be way better with fresh green beans. I was very right!

Fresh green beans are a must. This will be a go to recipe for me!

The almonds make this dish. So simple and so good!

I usually roast my green beans but we were having company and the oven was being used for other things. I thought of this recipe and had never tried it before but having had much luck with all the other recipes I’ve tried from MB, I took a chance thinking this too would be a winner. Glad I did, everyone raved about them! A winner dinner favorite! So delicious, thank you, MB❣️

This is the best recipe I have tried for a long time – easy, tasty (and I added a bit more garlic!). Have made it twice and will be making again.

Thanks.

Another fabulous, fast and easy dish from Dana! I made this dish for thanksgiving this year and my family loved it. I got asked for this recipe. This is a keeper and I will make again and again. Add another Minimalist Baker recipe to the list I have on regular rotation. Thanks, Dana! You are awesome.

I made these per the recipe and loved them as an easy stovetop side. They taste great cold or reheat well as leftovers. Definitely an upgrade from my steamed green beans!

This recipe was so quick, easy and tasty! Will definitely be making these again.

This was so easy and delicious! I make this quite often. Thank you!

I was not prepared for how delicious these were going to be. My husband is not a fan of fresh green beans and he started raving from the first bite. I use frozen green beans from Costco for convenience so I steamed them for about three minutes in a microwave steamer bowl and then continued with the recipe. They were so good I kind of want to make them for every meal =)

Super easy and delicious, thanks for the recipe!

Another perfect recipe! I just eat this as a main dish, it’s that good. This was my first time experimenting with vegan butter. It was so satisfying! And the almonds go so well with the green beans.

This recipe is definitely being added to my list of Christmas sides! So good.

We made these as a side for our Christmas dinner, and they were amazing!!! I was so happy with how they turned out. The green beans were perfectly cooked and seasoned, and I loved the extra crunch from the slivered almonds. We skipped step one as the almonds I got said they were toasted, and they worked well. I get tired of making the same vegetables, so it will be great to have another option for our weekly rotation! Thanks again for the recipe!! :)

Made this as part of our Christmas dinner for two–was delicious and so fast!! Used pecans instead of almonds because I forgot to get almonds and that’s what we had. It’s going in the rotation!

My family & I loved it. Very easy to make & yummy.

Delicious and so easy. A hit with all. I made these for our Thanksgiving holiday and will make again for the Christmas meal then I plan to include it as a regular every time I see piles of fresh green beans in the store or Farmer’s Markets.

Made these last night! absolutely fantastic. Washed and prepped the beans earlier in afternoon and let drain/dry in a colander. Also prepped the almonds. Then literally ten minutes before dinner, followed recipe to a T, and they turned out perfect. I have to say I preferred the taste much better than blanching first. My new go-to way of prepping green beans1

Made this for thanksgiving just as the recipe indicated. They were sooooo good. I can’t stand the casserole thing everyone seems to love. This is so much better and healthier. Truly so very good and easy. Sometimes simple is best! Going to make this every year, and not just at thanksgiving!

So many recipes call for the beans to be blanched first for 3-5 minutes before frying them. Really wasn’t keen on doing that. Followed the recipe and it turned out perfect. Everyone loved the crunch of the beans and of course, the garlic and butter flavour. Left out the almonds because I’m not keen on nuts. Will definitely be cooking this again. Maybe next time, I will add some sliced button mushrooms..

OMG! I LOVE this recipe! I am so embarrassed for the green bean dishes I have served to my family and friends in the past. I made these to take to a Friendsgiving, followed the recipe as written with one exception…I didn’t have avocado oil and used grape seed oil instead. They were awesome… I was so proud hearing everyone comment “ oh my gosh, who made the green beans….they are delicious! Not a single green bean left over and I tripled the recipe! I am now in charge of bringing green beans to future potlucks.
Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I used to not like thought of green beans because I grew up thinking the only way you got them was from a can… Your recipe made me LOVE green beans!!! Totally shattered the Glass ceiling in my green bean world!
This is my GO TO green bean recipe and the only way I make them. I could eat those toasted almonds all my themselves (actually I do eat them by themselves while I’m sautéing/steaming the green beans)!!! Thank you for this recipe!

I made these last night and boy were they a hit! My entire family, kids and toddlers included loved them. I’ve always been intimidated by green beans but this recipe was simple and flavorful! Thank you!

This was delicious, and came together quickly. These will be my new go-to green beans. I followed the recipe as written, and wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you for another great and reliable recipe!

I’ve made these a dozen times now and they are so easy and delicious. They will make you love green beans.

I didn’t think I liked green beans, but I made this recipe and loved it. The toasted almonds and garlic are delicious!

Goodness this was so yummy! Quick and easy, major flavor and the crunchy almonds make it extra delicious. I’ll definitely be buying a pound of green beans at the farmers market again next week to try this again!

I made this using walnut oil (supposedly good for sauteeing). Given cooking times were about appropriate – be sure to watch everything to prevent burning. Toasting of the almonds wasn’t a problem – I removed them to a bowl between steps. I used a package of 12 ounces of pre-washed pre-trimmed green beans available at my supermarket. That amount of green beans, together with an entree, was sufficient for my spouse and myself. I also cut the green beans french style before cooking, making them easier to turn and to eat. The green beans cooked down to a fair degree. I didn’t think that I generated smoke while cooking the green beans but the smoke detector over the basement steps between the first floor kitchen and the basement activated. For the green beans, the given amount of salt (measured) was about right. I fresh ground the pepper into the mix so the amount of pepper was rough measured. The spouse really liked it – the recipe is a keeper.

This was absolutely delicious. Kids gobbled it up and asked for more. I used sliced almonds because that’s what I had in the pantry. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly. Gosh, it was good!

When my sister entered the kitchen after I made these she couldn’t believe there wasn’t a professional chef in the kitchen…she tasted the green beans and was as crazy about them as I am! I added 3 extra garlic cloves to make it extra garlicky and it was perfect!! These are a great side for the sweet potato black bean burger patties.

I made this just as directed but added more garlic and sprinkled parmesan cheese over it! Super easy and delicious! Thank you !!!

I call these my Thanksgiving green beans because that was the first time I made them. I’ve made these consistently ever since, because it is SO easy, SO quick, and the best side dish to any meal. I also love that I’m not losing any nutrients through boiling the green beans. By doing the method in this recipe, you lock in all the nutrients of the green beans. Plus, I’m obsessed with garlic green beans, so this recipe is just a 10/10.

These are hands down the best green beans I’ve ever had.

The recipe makes for a dish with great consistency (texture) however I found it to be a little too garlic-dominant in flavor. I found that 2 cloves was enough, also grated garlic was better than minced. Thanks for sharing your work!

These beans are so good. So much easier than the preboil method and they turn out perfectly cooked and bright green.
My only addition to this recipe was that before adding the toasted almond slivers I stirred through one tablespoon of almond paste. Delicious.
Thanks for the recipe, this one is going to be a regular for me.

Fantastic recipe. Turned out delicious.

Wonderful and super easy! Great addition to the thanksgiving table and made me feel like a pro chef having these hot and blistered at last minute. Would be good with lots more beyond thanksgiving – could see adding ginger at end for an Asian type meal etc. A keeper!

Added some lemon juice but otherwise made as written! Turned out great and so easy!

Made exactly as written but doubled the recipe. Turned out fantastic! :D

Yum! Yum! Yum! We only had walnuts on hand and used those. Loved it!
I will definitely be making these again. Thank you so much.

This is seriously the best green bean recipe that I have ever made! The beans were soft yet al dente, garlicky & salty, with the added crunch of the toasted almonds. Perfection all the way around. And super-easy to boot. Thank you for this recipe!

Thank you for this recipe! I had some leftover green beans I needed to use up and made this with a few alterations (excluded nuts, added bell peppers and some chicken style pieces). Turned out delicious! ?
