1 Video | Photo: French Cut Green Beans with Almonds and Fried Onions Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans or frozen French-cut green beans
- Salt
- 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds (2-ounce package)
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- Ground black pepper
- 1 can fried onions
Directions
Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a high-sided saute pan. If using fresh beans, cut them lengthwise while you wait for the water to boil.
Add salt and green beans to boiling water and cook until just tender. Drain beans and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the butter. When butter is melted, add the almonds and cook until golden brown.
Return the green beans to the pan, along with the juice of 1/2 a lemon, add salt and pepper, to taste. When warmed through, top with fried onions.

Very easy to make and the almonds toasted in butter made it so much more than blan green beans. I actually savored each bite.

I used olive oil instead of butter, but left everything else the same. This dish is consistently good and I've made it several times.

I am usually not much of a Rachel Ray fan, but this recipe intrigued me. It was excellent! A huge hit all around. I would recommend 1T of butter as that was plenty. The almonds absolutely make this dish and you really don't need a ton of the french fried onions. We make this, or a variation on this all the time now.
