Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams green beans
- 1 medium red onion
- 60 grams walnuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
Wash the green beans and trim off the ends. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel and slice the red onion into thin wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, red onion wedges, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic (finely chop the garlic cloves beforehand). Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the green bean and onion mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer, ensuring there is minimal overlapping.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
While the vegetables are roasting, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
After 15 minutes, remove the vegetables from the oven, give them a quick stir, and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and slightly caramelized.
Transfer the roasted green beans and onions to a serving dish. Sprinkle the toasted walnuts over the top and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy this savory, nutty, and slightly tangy side dish!
