Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and trim the ends of your green beans. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- In a large bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Toss until well-coated.
- Sprinkle the slivered almonds over the green bean mixture and toss again to evenly distribute.
Cooking
- Spread the green beans and almonds evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the green beans are tender and the almonds are golden brown.
Serving
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Substitute almonds with sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free version. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes for best texture.
