  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 bag green beans
  • 2 tbsp almonds sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze

Instructions

  • Wash and dry green beans. 
  • Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Place green beans in the skillet and cover with a splatter guard.
  • Stir with a rubber spatula after 3-4 minutes. Then, add sesame seeds and sliced almonds to the skillet.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze and stir. Cook for another 8-10 minutes. Ensure green beans, almonds, and seeds are toasted.
  • Remove green beans from the skillet and plate. Top with more balsamic glaze. You can also add shaved parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, and whatever other topics you like.

Notes

Store them in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They're great for meal prep!
Use a splatter guard! The oil gets hot pretty quickly and you don’t want a mess or to get burnt.
