If you have never roasted green beans before, immediately go turn on your oven and start making this recipe. These green beans get a punch of freshness with the lemon, as well as sweetness with the caramelized red onion. And you can’t forget the nuttiness of the toasted almonds.

It’s green bean season, and usually I love to slow cook my green beans in a pan with loads of olive oil and garlic. This time, I wanted to get them crispier and brighter, and this recipe did the trick. I was eating them right out of the oven they were so good.
