Ingredients

1 tablespoon light butter spread I use Land O’Lakes light butter spread with canola oil
12 oz fresh washed and trimmed green beans
Salt and black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons sliced almonds

Instructions

Add the butter to a large saute pan and melt over medium-low heat. When melted, add the green beans and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir to coat in the butter. Cover the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, uncovering briefly to stir once in the middle. Beans should be bright green and a bit more tender.
Uncover and add the minced garlic and sliced almonds. Stir together and cook for another 2-4 minutes until the almonds are golden and the green beans are bright green and tender while still being a bit firm.
