Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 slice lemon (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the beans are evenly coated.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes.
While the green beans are roasting, toast the sliced almonds. Heat a small, dry skillet over medium heat and add the almonds. Stir frequently for 2–3 minutes until the almonds are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.
After 15 minutes of roasting, remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the toasted almonds over the green beans, and gently toss to combine.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the green beans from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the beans for a bright flavor boost.
Serve warm and enjoy!
