Green Beans With Almonds and Lemon Brown Butter

Ingredients

  • 1 lb

    green beans, trimmed

  • 4 tbsp

    unsalted butter

  • 1

    packet True Lemon

  • 1/4 c

    unsalted roasted almonds, chopped

  • 1/4 tsp

    kosher salt

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet or small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl or stir the butter with a wooden spoon as it starts to foam. Remove the butter from the heat as soon as it begins to turn golden brown, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the True Lemon, almonds, and salt. Swirl skillet over heat for 30 seconds more to toast the almonds. Spoon the mixture over the green beans.
