Description
These Garlic Butter Green Beans are a quick, easy, and elegant side dish for any holiday meal. Fresh green beans are blanched to a perfect crisp-tender texture and then sautéed in a delicious garlic butter sauce. Toasted almonds add a wonderful nutty crunch. It’s a simple yet flavorful vegetable side that complements any Christmas main course, from roast turkey to glazed ham.
A Taste of History
While green beans have been cultivated for thousands of years, the simple preparation of green beans with garlic and butter is a relatively modern American classic. It rose in popularity as a simple, elegant, and quick alternative to more complex vegetable dishes like the green bean casserole, especially for holiday meals where oven space is at a premium. Its simplicity allows the fresh flavor of the green beans to shine.
