Almond-Garlic Green Beans

A simple but elegant side dish that’s ready in 15 minutes! These easy Garlic Almond Green Beans with tamari glaze is one of our favorite ways to enjoy green beans. Plus they make a wonderful Thanksgiving and holiday side dish!

We’re only two weeks away from Thanksgiving and I’ve definitely transitioned into holiday mode. With all the holiday spirit comes holiday food… my favorite!

It’s been a thrill the past few years watching the explosion of plant-based options for the holidays (and plant-based options in general). Compassionate change is happening and that’s definitely worth celebrating.

Today I’m sharing one of our favorite, easy side dishes that’s a great choice for Thanksgiving and holidays because they’re just as tasty when served at room temp. You can quickly toss them together on the stove, then set aside while you assemble your other dishes.

Plus they come together in just 15 minutes. The salty, savory tamari sauce is a beautiful pairing with the tender green beans and crunchy almonds (and flavorful garlic bits).

Serve immediately while warm, or at room temp.
