Description
A delicious and healthy side dish featuring fresh green beans, garlic, and almonds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup sliced almonds
- lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (for easy clean up).
- Wash the green beans and dry them well. Trim the green beans by snapping the stem ends off with your fingers or cutting them off with a knife. Put the green beans on the baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the dried thyme, salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange green beans in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until almost tender. Then remove the pan from the oven and add the minced garlic and sliced almonds; toss with the green beans.
- Spread the green beans out in a single layer again and put them back in the oven for 4-5 more minutes, until green beans are tender. Serve, with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs instead of dried thyme.
- Ensure the green beans are spread out evenly on the baking sheet for even roasting.
