Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 0.25 cup sliced almonds
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 slice lemon (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Trim the ends off the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the beans are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the green beans in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes.

Step 7

While the green beans are roasting, toast the sliced almonds. Heat a small, dry skillet over medium heat and add the almonds. Stir frequently for 2–3 minutes until the almonds are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.

Step 8

After 15 minutes of roasting, remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the toasted almonds over the green beans, and gently toss to combine.

Step 9

Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the green beans from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. If desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the beans for a bright flavor boost.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
