Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves* chopped
  • 1 clove garlic grated or finely minced
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Toss the green beans with the olive oil, salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic. Spread them in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for 10 minutes. Stir the green beans and sprinkle the slivered almonds evenly over the top.
  • Continue roasting for 6-8 minutes, until the green beans are tender-crisp and lightly browned in spots and the almonds are toasted.
  • Transfer the green beans to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and drizzle with the lemon juice. Toss gently and serve immediately.
