A 5-Ingredient Side Dish Made for Weeknights: Lemon Almond Green Beans

0 · May 7, 2019 · Kiersten · Leave a Comment

Last summer, we got a giant bag of green or yellow beans in our CSA box nearly every week. This worked out well because, in my humble opinion, green beans are the most perfect summer side dish–easy to prepare, not much cooking required, and the perfect complement to a good veggie burger. (I can’t even count how many times I made this green bean fries recipe last year.)

This Lemon Almond Green Beans recipe is one that I make often because it’s ridiculously easy. Steam or roast the green beans, pulse a mixture of lemon juice, garlic and almonds in your food processor, top the beans with the chopped almonds and you’re done. If plain veggies don’t excite you, but you don’t want to spend 40 minutes making an elaborate side dish, this recipe is for you.

The nice thing about the lemon-almond crumble is that it works with so many vegetables–zucchini, broccoli, asparagus, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts would pair nicely, and I’ve even sprinkled leftovers on a salad. Add some nutritional yeast for a vegan Parmesan substitute, which is also delicious for pairing with fresh summer vegetables.
