Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1.5 ounces slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic , minced, or more to taste

1
Gather the ingredients.

Place beans into a microwave-safe casserole dish with enough water to cover the bottom. Microwave on high power until almost tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander and refresh under cold running water to keep them bright green in color.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add almonds and cook until just starting to turn golden, about 3 to 5 minutes, watching closely so as to not burn.
