Brown butter dresses up green beans for a simple and delicious side dish. Green beans coated with nutty and rich brown butter and sliced almonds to add more delicious texture!
Taking an extra few minutes to brown the butter makes all the difference in green beans. Butter is delicious as is, but browning the butter enhances the richness of the butter. The sliced almonds complement this dish for added nuttiness and texture!
These beans take less than 30 minutes for me to make, so they make a perfect way to dress up a weeknight dinner or anytime you are looking for a delicious and fast side dish!
