Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the green beans thoroughly and trim the ends.
Peel the garlic cloves and thinly slice them.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the green beans with extra virgin olive oil, sliced garlic, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the green beans out on a large baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the green beans are slightly blistered and tender-crisp. Toss the beans halfway through the cooking time for even roasting.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with lemon zest, then drizzle with lemon juice to add brightness and enhance flavors.
Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving platter and enjoy warm.
