Active 15 mins
Makes 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
    • Kosher salt
    • 1 1/2 pounds green beans, ends snapped
    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
    • 3 small garlic cloves, minced
    • 1/2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
    • 2 1/2 tablespoons dry sherry or sherry vinegar
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
    • 1 cup sliced almonds, toasted

  1. Bring a large saucepan of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the green beans and cook until al dente, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
