Ingredients

  • 12 oz fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil (or other fat of choice)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup slivered almonds

Instructions

  • Place a large pan on the stove on medium heat and add the coconut oil and minced garlic, and allow the coconut oil to melt.
  • Add the green beans to the pan and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Sauté the beans for 7-8 minutes, stirring frequently until they are tender.
  • While the beans are cooking, place a small pan on the stove on medium heat. Add the avocado oil and slivered almonds and cook until toasted, stirring frequently to prevent them from burning (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Top the beans with the slivered almonds and serve and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Feel free to cook these beans in another fat such as butter, ghee or bacon fat.
  2. For a different flavour swap the slivered almonds with another nut such as pecans or walnuts. 
  3. Store these beans in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
