Green beans are naturally low in carbs and contain an ample amount of vital nutrients. As they are quick to prepare and you can vary them endlessly, they can easily become a staple in your healthy lifestyle.

In this side dish green beans get some flavor and tang from lemon juice. Olive oil provides good fats and mild taste. Sliced almonds — which are cooked in olive oil to maximize the toasty, nutty flavor — give texture and crunch. Gently fried garlic complements the flavors with a savory touch.
