Time 30m

Yield 4 cuS, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb fresh green beans (thin beans preferred, but any type will work)
6 shallots, peeled, and cut into thin slivers
5 large garlic cloves, peeled and cut into thin slices
2 tablespoons olive oil (original recipe called for 3, but I thought 2 was plenty)
1 teaspoon salt (or less)
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, very finely chopped
1/4 cup almonds, chopped (I used sliced almonds and only slightly chopped them)
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450°F (If you're cooking other things you can use a slightly lower temperature, just increase the time a little.).
Trim ends from green beans. If using thin, long beans, cut in half crosswise into pieces about 2 inches long. Peel and cut shallots and garlic, then place with beans in plastic bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper, and use a wooden spoon to toss until beans, shallots, and garlic are well coated with oil.
Spray roasting pan with nonstick spray or mist with olive oil, then arrange the vegetables in a single layer. (I like to cover the pan with foil, then spray the foil for even easier clean-up.) Roast 12-15 minutes for thin beans, or slightly longer for regular beans, until beans are slightly shriveled, and shallots and garlic are lightly browned.
While beans cook, toss together chopped parsley, chopped almonds and lemon zest. When beans are done, toss hot beans with parsley/lemon/almond mixture and serve immediately.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

12 oz raw green beans, ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons sliced almonds

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the green beans in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Stir to coat, making sure oil is evenly distributed on the beans. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the green beans across a baking sheet in a single layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove the beans from the oven and sprinkle the minced garlic and sliced almonds over top of the green beans. Stir to mix together and then spread to a single layer again. Place the baking sheet back in the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes until green beans are cooked through and the garlic and almonds are lightly golden.
