Haricot Vert tossed with Olive Oil & Almonds

Plain green beans are boring and dont even think about opening a can. Ugh. 

Accent the flavors of fresh with this simple combination and the bowl will be empty. Super healthy and super delicious.

The Haricot Vert size of beans - which is just French for super skinny Green Beans - are very tender and easy for a bariatric person to eat.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoon2 olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
• 8 ounces Haricot Verts - these super thin green beans are my preference for a holiday meal because they cook in minutes while the roast rests
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

• Saute the garlic slices in the olive oil in a non stick skillet, over medium high heat, stirring constantly until you see just a hint of golden brown.  
• Add the green beans and tossing frequently, cook until coated with the olive oil and they have softened.
• Season well with a big pinch of salt and black pepper, add the almonds and toss until the beans are to a crisp tender doneness. 
• Arrange in a serving bowl and take to the table.
