Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Position an oven rack in the middle.
Rinse the green beans under cold water and dry them thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Trim the ends of the green beans using a sharp knife to remove the tough ends.
In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
Add sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and lemon zest to the bowl and toss the beans again to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Ensure they have enough space and are not overcrowded, which helps them roast evenly.
Roast the green beans in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the sliced almonds over the green beans. Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 5 minutes, or until the green beans are crisp-tender and the almonds are lightly toasted.
Remove from the oven and let the beans cool for a minute. Transfer them to a serving dish and enjoy as a delicious, dairy-free side.
