Ingredients
Vegan, Gluten-free 
5 minutes preparation time + 10 minutes cooking time 
4 - 1/4 cup flaked almonds
- 400g (3-4 large handfuls) green beans, tops trimmed
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large clove garlic, finely grated or crushed
- Generous pinch of flaky sea salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Fresh finely grated Parmesan for finishing
Method
- Dry roast the flaked almonds in a large frypan until lightly golden. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the green beans and water. Sauté on medium heat.
- Add the fresh garlic and extra virgin olive oil. Continue sautéing until the beans are vibrant green.
- Sprinkle a generous pinch of flaky sea salt, lemon zest, and the toasted almonds into the pan.
- Remove from heat and add a little freshly grated Parmesan. Stir to combine.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
NOTES
- Almond Roasting: Keep an eye on the flaked almonds while dry roasting to prevent burning. They should be lightly golden to enhance flavour and texture.
- Green Bean Sautéing: Ensure the green beans are cooked to a vibrant green colour, maintaining a slight crispness for texture. Overcooking may result in a loss of colour and crunch.
