These oven roasted green beans are a simple, elegant side dish that pairs beautifully with just about any protein. Easy enough for a weeknight but special enough for company!
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.
