Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup Marcona almonds
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the green beans, ensuring they are dry before roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the green beans are roasting, zest the lime using a microplane grater and set the zest aside. Juice the lime to get 1 tablespoon of fresh juice.
Once the green beans are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish. Add the lime zest and lime juice, tossing well to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the roasted green beans with Marcona almonds for a buttery crunch.
Serve immediately as a zesty, nutty side dish. Enjoy!
