A delightful twist on a classic green bean dish, perfect for any occasion.
Steam the green beans until they are crisp-tender, about 4-6 minutes.
Steaming preserves the vibrant color and nutrients of the green beans.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Use a high-quality olive oil for the best flavor.
Add the sliced almonds to the skillet and toast them until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the almonds from burning.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the steamed green beans to the skillet and season with salt and pepper.
Toss the beans well to coat them evenly with the oil and seasonings.
Sauté the green beans with the almonds and garlic for 3 minutes.
Ensure the beans are heated through and slightly caramelized.
Transfer the green bean mixture to a serving dish and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
