Lunch: Green Beans with Toasted Garlic and Almonds

Lighten up a heavy holiday meal with this verdant side dish of green beans tossed in almond-garlic oil. If you want to kick up the flavor even more, add 1 Tbsp of vinegar at the very end, just before serving.

Ingredients

kosher salt
Pepper
2 lb. green beans
3 tbsp. olive oil
2 clove garlic
1/3 c. sliced almonds

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 Tbsp salt, then the green beans, and cook until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the almonds and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the green beans to the skillet, season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper and toss to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
