I love green beans, they’re one of my fave vegetables, and this is a fave way to eat them. Lightly roasted and tossed with a lemony dressing, finished with toasted almonds.
Pair these beans with a portobello or veggie burger for an easy weeknight dinner, or make a meal of all sides with this as one of three veggies piled into a bowl (my favorite way to eat). These green beans also make the perfect summer side that every eater will love, so bring them over to the next BBQ gathering.
