These easy Almond Green Beans are a great low-carb side dish! The caramelized onions add so much flavor to the fresh green beans and you'll love the crunch and nuttiness from the almonds.

This side dish recipe is perfect for the holidays but easy enough for a weeknight dinner along side a grilled protein. Try it with grilled salmon and mashed cauliflower for one great meal. For an even easier prep look for prepackaged fresh green beans that have already been trimmed.
