Instructions

Rinse and trim your green beans. Do so by lining up several green beans and trim off about 1/4 inch on each end.
Heat a saute pan or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add olive oil to pan.
Add the green beans to your warmed pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes, depending on how soft you like your green beans. (Tip: Put a lid over your pan to cook the beans quicker!)
In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the dried cranberries and almonds. Continue to stir to warm the cranberries and almonds. Taste your green beans and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve hot or warm, enjoy!
