Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. (If you're cooking other things in the oven 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 cut shallots and garlic, then place with beans in a large bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and pepper, and use a wooden spoon to toss until everything is well coated with oil.
- 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.
- While beans cook, toss together chopped parsley, chopped almonds and lemon zest. When beans are done, toss hot beans with parsley/lemon/almond mixture and serve immediately.
