How to Make Almond Pepper Green Beans
- Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant and lightly browned. Set aside.
- Steam or blanch the green beans for 8-10 minutes, until tender-crisp. Immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and maintain vibrant color. Drain well.
- While the green beans are steaming, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced bell pepper and red onion.
- Sauté the peppers and onions for 5-7 minutes, until softened but still slightly crisp.
- Add the vegan butter (or additional olive oil) to the skillet. Once melted, add the steamed green beans.
- Gently toss the green beans with the peppers and onions to combine. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the toasted almonds. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
