Garlic-Roasted Green Beans with Shallots and Almonds

I'm not a big fan of beens, but this recipe is absolutely delicious! Guaranteed! And it's so easy to make!

Ingredients for 1 serving:

frozen green beans - 1.5 to 2 cups (75 g to 100 g)

shallots, chopped (you can use red onion as well) - 2 tbsp

garlic, slivered - 2 cloves

olive oil - 1 tbsp

lemon zest from 1/2 lemon

lemon juice - 2 wedge yields

almonds, slivered - 3

parsley, chopped, raw - 1 tbsp

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 220 C / 450 F

2. Trim ends from green beans (if necessary) and cut into pieces about 5 cm / 2 inches long

3. Place beans in a plastic bowl and add shallots (onion), garlic, olive oil, salt an pepper. Toss well (preferably using a wooden spoon) until everything is fully coated with oil.

4. Put the oiled beans with shallots and garlic in a non-stick pan, and leave in the oven for about 12- 15 minutes, until shallots and garlic are lightly browned. (For the last 3 minutes I prefer broiling, to give it a nice crunchy feeling)

5. When done, toss with almonds, lemon zest and parsley, then sprinkle a little lemon juice on top, and serve immediately.
