Classic Green Bean Recipe

Pound and a half of green beans washed and trimmed
1 tablespoon butter
Pinch of garlic powder
1/3 cup sliced almonds (toasted)
Lemon wedges (optional)

Although this recipe is simple, it's quite tasty and satisfying, it’s one of my favorites. Steam green beans for approximately 10-12 minutes until texture is a little bit firm but not mushy. Remove from steamer and place in a separate bowl, add butter and season with a pinch of garlic powder and toss. Finish with toasted almonds and garnish with lemon wedges and serve.
