Green Beans with Roasted Garlic Butter

1 head garlic
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound fresh green beans
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
slivered almonds

Slice the top off of the head of garlic, exposing just the tips of each clove. Sprinkle with olive oil. Place in garlic roaster or other suitable dish, cover, and bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes. Set aside. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the cloves of garlic out of their skins and mash. In meantime, wash and snip the green beans. In skillet, place about 2 tablespoons water and bring to boil. Add beans, cover, steam about 3 minutes. Arrange on plate, toss in the garlic, add salt, and sprinkle with almonds.
