Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 84kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound green beans trimmed
- 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°. Combine lemon juice, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, basil, and pepper in a Ziploc bag. Add green beans, close the bag and toss to combine.
- Spread green beans in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan lined with parchment paper. Add nuts to the Ziploc bag and shake bag.
- Bake for 5 minutes. Add almonds to the pan and bake 5 minutes more, or until beans are tender and browned, stirring occasionally.
Notes
- For extra-crunchy almonds, add them during just the last 3 minutes of cooking instead of the full final 5 minutes.
- A sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese or lemon zest right after roasting adds an extra dimension of flavor that elevates this simple side dish!
- This simple recipe works wonderfully with other veggies including asparagus, Brussels sprouts, and broccoli. Adjust cooking times accordingly as some vegetables take longer to roast than green beans.
- You can easily double or triple this recipe for larger gatherings or weekly meal prep — just use multiple pans so the beans aren't too crowded for even roasting.
