Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cup almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and thoroughly dry the green beans. Trim the ends if necessary.
Place the green beans in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss the green beans until evenly coated.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, tossing halfway through until the beans are tender and slightly charred.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the almonds in a small skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
After roasting, transfer the green beans to a serving platter. Add lemon zest and toasted almonds. Toss gently to combine.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately while warm.
