For an extra layer of flavor, try using brown butter powder instead of garlic powder. If using frozen green beans, thaw and pat them dry before adding them to the skillet. To prevent the almonds from burning, you can toast them separately in a dry skillet or in the oven before adding them to the green beans. Adjust the amount of orange juice and white pepper to suit your taste. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a subtle kick. Garnish with orange zest before serving, for a brighter flavour

01
StepIn a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking until the butter turns a light golden brown and emits a nutty aroma, approximately 3-5 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
02
StepAdd the green beans, garlic powder, and salt to the skillet. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.
03
StepStir in the sliced almonds and dried cranberries. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the almonds are lightly toasted by the residual heat.
04
StepFinish with a splash of fresh orange juice and season with ground white pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
