How to Make French Style Green Beans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Toast 1/4 cup sliced almonds on a baking sheet for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside.
  2. Wash and trim 1 pound of fresh green beans.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Drain immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  4. While the beans are cooking, sauté 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of butter, 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil.
  6. Gently toss the cooked green beans with the sautéed mushrooms and herb butter mixture.
  7. Sprinkle with toasted almonds before serving. Enjoy!
