Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 pound green beans washed + trimmed (about 4 cups)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oil in pan and evenly coat. Stir in garlic and green beans.
- Stir fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Then, pour in soy sauce, almonds, cranberries, and pepper and sauté for another 6-8 minutes, until tender (but still a little crispy). (If needed, after about 5 minutes, cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes. This will reduce your cooking time. Additionally, you can add another tablespoon or so of soy sauce during the sautéing process if liquid has evaporated.)
- Serve hot, adding extra sliced almonds and cranberries on top.

Storage Tips
These cranberry green beans with almonds store well in the fridge. I always recommend storing food in an airtight container glass container because food stays fresher for longer in glass. These cranberry almond green beans can keep in the fridge for up to four days. To reheat, give these almond green beans with cranberries a quick sauté on the stovetop over medium heat. Alternatively, microwave them for 60-90 seconds. Keep in mind that microwaving them can make them significantly softer than you are hoping for.
