Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

Step 5

Spread the seasoned beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beans are tender and slightly browned in spots.

Step 7

Remove the beans from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl.

Step 8

Sprinkle the roasted beans with lemon zest for a bright and zesty finish. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite main course.
