How to Make Gluten Free Green Bean Appetizer

This gluten free green bean appetizer takes less than 10 minutes to prepare! Here’s how to make it:

1. Prepare the Skillet

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat for about 30 seconds.

2. Cook the Green Beans

Add the green beans to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally. The green beans should begin to soften but still retain a slight crunch.

Add the sliced almonds and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the almonds to toast lightly and the green beans to become tender but still crisp.

Once the green beans are cooked, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top to add a burst of zesty flavor.

Finally, top the dish with crushed Milton’s Gluten Free Olive Oil & Sea Salt Crackers for a crunchy, flavorful finish.
