If you’ve never tried roasted green beans, you’re in for a treat. Unlike boiled beans – which are bland and squeaky when you bite into them – roasted green beans are tender, caramelized and full of flavor. Cranberries and walnuts dress them up and make them a perfect side dish for the holidays.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh green beans, stem ends trimmed
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced into quarters
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1-1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, from one lemon
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice, from one lemon
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup walnuts (toasted if desired; see note)
