I love making Frenched Green Beans Almondine. If you don't have a green bean frencher, go get one! I actually think it's fun to use. These green beans are a lighter alternative to the classic green bean casserole for your holiday dinner.

Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 5 mins
Yields: 4 - 6 Servings

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/3 cup slivered almonds

Coarse salt to taste

Freshly ground black pepper to taste

1½ pounds green beans

Directions

1Trim green beans, using a bean slicer or knife, cut beans lengthwise into thin strips.

2Add salt and green beans to boiling water and cook until just tender. Drain beans and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Heat a skillet to medium and add the butter. When butter is melted, add the almonds and cook until golden brown about 2 – 3 minutes.

3Return the green beans to the pan, add salt and pepper, to taste.

4Transfer to a serving platter, and serve immediately.
