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.
Notes
Storage Tips
These sautéed green beans with cranberries and almonds store well in the fridge.
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
- Reheat: You can 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.
