Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
3 tbsp unsalted butter
½ cup sliced almonds
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the green beans and cook until bright green and tender-crisp, about 3–4 minutes. Drain through a colander and immediately rinse under cold running water until cool to the touch, then shake off excess water.
2
Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until the foam subsides and the butter turns a light golden-brown and smells nutty, about 3–4 minutes.
