• 1.5 pounds fresh green beans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Cooking instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment, if desired. (about 5 min) — 425°F

3. Roast for 10 minutes. Mince the garlic, then sprinkle it over the beans and toss carefully to coat. (about 2 min) — 425°F
4. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 6 to 8 minutes more, until the beans are browned in spots and tender-crisp. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and serve hot. (about 8 min) — 425°F
