Roasted Green Beans

Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh green beans, (trimmed)
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper
• 1/3 cup sliced almonds, (for garnish (optional))

Steps

1. 1

   Get ready. Preheat your oven to 425°F.

2. 2

   Roast the green beans. In a medium bowl, toss the green beans with enough olive oil to coat (2 to 3 tablespoons) and a big pinch of salt and pepper (1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon). Spread onto a large sheet pan so they’re all in one layer. Roast without moving until the edges are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, toast the almonds (optional). If you’d like to add a little garnish, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a small pan over medium. Add the almond and toast, tossing until just golden brown, about 5 minutes. As soon as they’re done, pour onto to a plate to avoid burning.

4. 4

   Serve. Transfer the green beans to a serving platter and top with the toasted almonds (if using). Serve warm.
