Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Spread green beans in a single layer on baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Roll the green beans in the olive oil so each one is nicely coated. Liberally salt and pepper. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Flip green beans. Spread minced garlic and slivered almonds. Drizzle with lemon juice. Place back in the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. (Keep an eye on the almond slivers. You want them browned but not blackened. 7 minutes is the sweet spot for my oven.)
