Green Beans Recipe Green beans are a versatile and nutritious vegetable that can be prepared in various ways. Here's a simple recipe to make delicious and flavorful green beans: Ingredients: - 500g fresh green beans, washed and trimmed - 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional) - Salt and pepper to taste - Lemon zest or juice for garnish (optional) Instructions: 1.
