Easy Low-Carb 5 Ingredient Green Beans

Step 1Let’s take a look how to make this simple but scrumptious side dish. Use trimmed, fresh green beans and steam them until crisp-tender. In case you cannot get fresh beans, use frozen, defrosted green beans (you might have to cook them quickly, just follow the instructions in the package).

Step 2When you have steamed the beans and they are still warm, take a large bowl. In the bowl, place the steamed green beans.

Step 3Add lemon juice.

Step 4Season with salt.

Step 5Toss well and set aside.

Step 6Heat a skillet over medium heat. Place the olive oil in the skillet.

Step 7Add the almonds to the hot olive oil.

Step 8Cook and mix until the almonds have got some color.

Step 9Add the garlic for the rest of the 30 seconds.

Step 10Continue cooking until the garlic is golden brown. Don't add the garlic too early, as it easily turns too brown and gets burned flavor if fried too long. It also loses much of its nutrients if cooked more than 60 seconds.

Step 11Add the garlic and almond mixture in the bean salad.

Step 12Toss well.

Step 13Serve immediately. To store, let it cool down and refrigerate for up to 4 dayse. Reheat before serving.
