These roasted green beans are a fresh take on your everyday green beans. This recipe could not be easier to bake on a sheet pan, giving you perfectly brown and tender beans with crisp edges, tangled with crispy, caramelized shallots.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds green beans (trimmed)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 shallot (thinly sliced (½ cup))
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or ½ teaspoon table salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly grated lemon zest

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450 (225C) degrees and arrange a rack on the lowest shelf.

  2. 2

    Pat the greens dry with a clean towel.

  3. 3

    Put the beans on a large rimmed baking sheet. Add the oil, shallot, salt and pepper. Toss together and arrange the beans in an even layer.

  4. 4

    Roast until the beans are beginning to blister, turn golden brown and the shallots are caramelized. To cook evenly, flip them around with tongs after they've been in the oven about 10 minutes. Depending on your oven it should take 15-20 minutes until they're done.

  5. 5

    To serve, transfer the beans to a serving bowl or platter and sprinkle the lemon zest over the top.
