    Green Beans Almondine is an easy and basic french bean recipe. This is a healthier beans dish to serve for sides or as your low-carb snack. French beans are zero in carb/ fat and high in protein as well as fiber. That's why this is one of the best vegetables for a weight loss diet. If you are following a low-carb diet or keto diet, you may trust this amazing green beans almondine.

    Green Beans Almondine - Sauteed Green Beans with Almonds

    Green beans are a high source of protein for vegetarians. And because of the high protein factor, you will not crave any food for long hours. So this helps in losing that extra weight. It's always been a great food or vegetable to add to your diet. The protein component helps in building muscle mass or say prevents loss of muscle mass during the process of fat & calorie burning.

    Green Beans are often referred to as snap beans or string beans. If you are looking for any green bean recipes or meatless and vegan green bean recipes, then this green bean almondine is so perfect. Soft and perfectly cooked green beans with crispy toasted almondine make a perfect side or snack.

    On top of it, the crunchy toasted almonds complete the recipe. It's simple yet so much full of flavors. You can toast the almond slices on a skillet or in the oven. Here I have toasted this in a small tsp olive oil just before sauteing the green beans.
