Instructions
- Trim and snap the green beans into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat (without oil). Add the slivered almonds and quickly saute (constantly moving around the pan) until fragrant and golden brown. Carefully watch the almonds so the do not burn. Remove from the pan after they turn golden brown and become fragrant. Set aside.
