These Green Beans with Orange and Almond Gremolata have a citrusy and nutty flavor that makes them perfect for pairing with any holiday main course. Nothing gets easier than cooking a batch of green beans for a quick yet delicious side dish. The main trick to perfect green beans is to heavily salt the cooking water and having a bowl of ice water at hand. The end result is crispy and tender green beans with delicious sweetness.
To whip up this healthy side dish, you will need just about 15 minutes. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot for 3-4 minutes before immersing in ice water. Next, cook garlic and rosemary. Remove from heat after 2 minutes and toss with roasted almonds, orange zest, and parsley. Serve orange and almond gremolata over green beans, and enjoy!
To make the Green Beans with Orange and Almond Gremolata, you will need the following ingredients:
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon of salt to boiling water.
Place a large bowl of ice water near the stovetop.
In batches, cook 2 pounds of green beans until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
Immediately transfer the green beans to the ice water to cool, then drain and set aside.
In a small skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add 1 finely chopped clove garlic and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary. Cook until the garlic sizzles around the edges and starts to turn golden, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and toss with ½ cup roasted almonds, 1 teaspoon orange zest, and ½ cup chopped flat-leaf parsley.
Serve orange and almond gremolata over green beans alongside your favorite main dish.
