Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g fresh green beans
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 3 tbsp pine nuts
- 30 g Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Trim the ends of the green beans and wash them thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, kosher salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the green beans are tender and lightly browned.
While the green beans are roasting, toast the pine nuts. Heat a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pine nuts and toast, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and set aside to cool.
When the green beans are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with lemon zest, toasted pine nuts, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy at room temperature.
