Green Beans with Toasted Almonds

The thyme in this recipe makes this a complimentary side dish to most poultry recipes and the toasted almonds add a flavorful crunch.

Serves 8.

Ingredients:
3 pounds fresh green beans, stem ends removed
1/2 teaspoon butter-flavored buds or butter-flavored cooking spray
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed dried thyme
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted

Directions:
1. Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water to cover. Reduce heat and simmer until crisp tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain.

2. Toss with butter-flavored buds, garlic powder, and thyme. Serve hot, garnished with toasted almonds.

TIP: to toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast in a 350°F oven until fragrant and brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Shake the pan once or twice so that they toast evenly. Check after 3 minutes. Once they begin to color, they will brown very quickly. Do not allow them to burn.
