Green Bean Almondine

Green Bean Almondine Easy Side Dish Recipe

Another farm fresh favorite of ours in the summer is green bean almondine. Freshy-picked green beans are in abundance everywhere you look, from farmers markets to grocery stores.

Green beans are in season June through September, so that’s a lot of fresh beans to eat! We have many ways to prepare our green beans in the summer, but this green bean almondine is one of our favorites.

The beans are so tasty and zippy that you will find yourself eating them all. If beans are off season then buy frozen beans! Just buy bags of frozen whole green beans.

We recommend about 1/2 of a fresh lemon, but add as mush as you like! Lemons are filled with Vitamin C and a great addition to vegetables.

 

Steamed Green Beans

Green Bean Almondine

Cooking in chicken broth will gently steam the green beans.  Cover and let cook on low for about 5 minutes. You can take a peak after 4 minutes.

What we Love About this Green Bean Recipe

It’s easy and it’s made with healthy fresh green beans and lots of lemon.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftover green beans can be stored in airtight container and kept in your refrigerator for up to 3 -4 days.  Just reheat in your microwave.

Can I use Frozen Green Beans instead of Fresh?

Yes, you can definitely use frozen green beans just purchase whole green beans and cook them gently in the microwave to thaw before cooking.
