Roasted Green Beans With Parmesan Almonds And Lemon Recipes

ROASTED GREEN BEANS WITH PARMESAN, ALMONDS, AND LEMON

Steps:

• Place an oven rack on the center shelf and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
• Toast the almonds until fragrant and golden, approximately 7-10 minutes, shaking the pan every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking. Remove the almonds from the oven, and increase the temperature to 450 degrees F.
• Place the green beans and garlic on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat, then season with the salt and pepper. Spread the ingredients out evenly, and roast for approximately 25 minutes, using a spatula to stir the vegetables halfway through. The green beans are ready when they're caramelized and crunchy on the outside, but still slightly toothsome when you bite into them.
• Remove from the oven and top with lemon juice, almonds, parmesan, and basil, if using. Serve immediately.

GREEN BEANS WITH LEMON AND TOASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• In a medium pan, toast almonds over medium heat. Remove from pan and add 1/2 inch water. Bring water to a boil, add beans and cover pan. Reduce heat. Cook beans 4 or 5 minutes until just tender yet still green. Drain beans and return pan to stovetop. Melt butter over moderate heat. Add lemon juice to butter (juice lemon half right side up to keep seeds with lemon, rather than in your beans). Add beans to lemon butter and coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer green beans to dinner plates or serving plate and top with almonds.
