Green beans are perfect for a quick and easy side dish. They cook quickly, just five minutes for tenderness while retaining their juiciness and vibrant flavor. You'll need just three additional ingredients for a sophisticated flavor: a little butter for a glossy finish, lemon zest for a bright, refreshing note, and toasted sliced almonds for depth and crunch.
