Ingredients 

1½ lbs green beans, trimmed

3 Tbsp water

2 Tbsp olive oil

1/3 cup almonds

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

How to make it 

In a microwave-safe bowl, cook green beans and water, covered, for 3-5 minutes, depending on desired crunchiness. Drain water.

Meanwhile, in a pan large enough to hold green beans, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add almonds. Sauté 2-3 minutes to coat, and toast almonds. Slowly add green beans. Beware of sizzle from water hitting hot pan. Add salt and pepper. Toss almonds and green beans in olive oil until beans begin to char (2-3 minutes).
