Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them under cold water. Set aside.

Prepare the Green Beans

In a dry skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds. Toast them for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Toast the Almonds

In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter. Let it melt over medium heat. Continue to cook the butter, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes.

Brown the Butter

Add the prepared green beans to the skillet with the browned butter. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp.

Cook the Green Beans

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the toasted almonds. Serve immediately as a side dish.
