These Garlic Green Beans with sliced almonds are a family recipe that is easy to make in under 15 minutes and with only 5 ingredients.
Creating delicious food for family and friends is one of my favorite holiday season traditions.
Every year all of our family (25+ people) gather for an Italian dinner at our house and everyone bringing something special to the dinner table.
Just about our entire family is vegetarian, so creating something everyone will enjoy is really easy.
Everyone brings a different dish and a few of the dishes Roger and I create include a pasta bar with different kinds of pasta and sauces along with a variety of veggies for topping and eating on the side.
One of my favorites is Garlic Green Beans.
This recipe is a family tradition that we’ve been making with Better Than Bouillon for as long as I can remember.
For those who may not have used this before, Better Than Bouillon® is a paste concentrate that is equivalent to a bouillon cube or broth.
For these Garlic Green Beans, I simply dissolve Better Than Bouillon® in warm water to use when steaming the green beans.
I grew up using Better Than Bouillon®’s vegetarian products to create vegetarian gravies and to add delicious flavor to fresh vegetables because Better Than Bouillon® adds that “cooked all day” flavor to your favorite holiday dishes – from appetizers to the main course!
Better Than Bouillon® has a wide variety of bases in a range of flavors that can be used to take your holiday meals to the next level.
Over the years we have used a variety of their vegetarian products when creating this recipe and you can easily swap out the Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Garlic Base for the Seasoned Vegetable Base, the Mushroom Base, or any others you’d like to try!
And ever since we were married 7.5 years ago we too have kept Better Than Bouillon® in our home and in our recipes.
And since we use it on a regular basis I thought it was about time that I shared this family favorite recipe for Garlic Green Beans topped with sliced almonds and how it makes the holidays extra special.
And while we don’t have kids yet, I am looking forward to passing this easy and delicious recipe down to our future children just as my mom passed it down to me.
We enjoy this recipe year-round, but it’s especially fun to enjoy it with our whole family around the holidays. Better Than Bouillon® can be used to save time and add flavor to your recipes for upcoming special gatherings or holiday celebrations like Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Christmas, and New Years!
