This Skillet Green Beans with Toasted Almonds recipe is such a great way to elevate simple green beans into something elegant and flavorful. I love how the toasted almonds add both crunch and a nutty depth to the dish. A small tip I’ve found is to drizzle a little lemon juice or balsamic vinegar right before serving to add brightness to the flavors. I recently shared a similar recipe that incorporates roasted vegetables and almonds—you can check it out here: Green Bean and Veggie Recipes at Five Guys Menu. Thanks for the inspiration—I’ll be making this for my next dinner gathering!
