Description
A delicious roasted green bean dish with shallots and garlic, perfect as a side.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. fresh green beans (thin beans preferred, but any type will work)
- 3 large shallots, peeled and cut into thin slivers
- 5 large cloves garlic, peeled and cut into thin slices
- 2 T olive oil
- salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F/230C. (If you’re cooking other things you can use a slightly lower temperature, just increase the time a little.)
- Trim ends from green beans. If using thin, long beans, cut in half crosswise into pieces about 2 inches long.
- Peel and slice shallots and garlic into lengthwise slivers. (Don’t make them too thin or they’ll cook too quickly.)
- Toss green beans with shallots, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spray roasting pan with nonstick spray or mist with olive oil, then arrange the vegetables in a single layer.
- Roast 12-15 minutes for thin beans, or slightly longer for regular beans, until beans are slightly shriveled, and shallots and garlic are lightly browned.
- When beans are done, season with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
- Sprinkle beans with almonds (toasted in a dry frying pan if you’d like) and serve immediately.
Notes
- Be careful not to slice shallots and garlic too thin, as they will cook too quickly and burn.
