Can you cook string beans with almonds a day ahead?

Cooking string beans with almonds a day ahead is not recommended due to food safety reasons. Cooked food left at room temperature for extended periods can become a breeding ground for bacteria, even if it's been refrigerated later on. This can increase the risk of foodborne illnesses.

Cooked string beans with almonds should be consumed within a few hours of cooking or refrigerated promptly after cooking and consumed within 2-3 days. For optimal safety and quality, it's best to cook and consume string beans with almonds on the same day.

If you have any leftover string beans with almonds, it's advisable to store them in the refrigerator and reheat them thoroughly before consuming. Reheating food to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) or above can kill any harmful bacteria that may have grown during storage.
