Green Beans with Toasted Almonds

Green Beans and Almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Toast 1/4 cup sliced almonds in oven about five minutes or until fragrant and golden.

In a large saute pan, melt 2 teaspoons butter and add 1 (12-ounce) bag trimmed beans to the pan; saute five to seven minutes.

Toss almonds with green beans, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot.

Notable Note Nine clinical studies over the last thirteen years have shown that almonds can lower cholesterol as part of a diet low in saturated fat. These clinical trials were an integral part of the data submitted to the FDA for the first authorized qualified health claim: "Scientific evidence suggests but does not prove that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease."
