Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 2 medium shallots
- 50 grams pine nuts or hazelnuts
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Trim and wash the green beans, pat them dry, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly. Slice the shallots into thin rings.
Add the sliced garlic, shallots, and nuts (pine nuts or hazelnuts) to the bowl with the green beans.
Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle in the kosher salt and black pepper. Toss everything together until the beans are evenly coated.
Spread the green bean mixture out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that the beans are not overcrowded for even roasting.
Place the sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 18–20 minutes, tossing the beans halfway through to ensure even cooking. The beans should be tender-crisp, and the shallots should be lightly caramelized.
Once out of the oven, sprinkle the roasted beans with lemon zest for a bright, fresh flavor.
Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
