Ensure that your green beans are fresh and trimmed. You want that fresh and tender yet crisp taste that makes you feel better about eating the whole plate!

GREEN BEANS | Fresh and In-Season from May thru October. No frozen green beans here, I’m sorry, but it just won’t work for this recipe. You want that fresh, crisp, juicy green bean taste!

SLICED ALMONDS | Just go buy the sliced almonds. Why add extra work to a simple and easy recipe? If you have whole almonds on hand, slice them yourself!

OLIVE OIL | You need to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for that bold flavor that elevates the flavors of these fresh juicy green beans. You can substitute with Almond oil or Walnut oil if you prefer. 

GARLIC CLOVES | You can use minced garlic, but I prefer smashed whole garlic cloves. It has a more mellow garlic taste that isn’t overpowering like minced garlic. 

*Not sure what Smashed Garlic is? Take the flat side of the knife blade and gently smash it down on the garlic until it crushes the clove, releasing that garlicky goodness!

Preheat your oven to 400F. Grab a sheet pan and add your trimmed green beans. Drizzle 1-2 tbsp of olive oil and toss to coat. Smash your garlic and roughly dice it up before adding it to your pan. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top and a pinch of salt. Add it to your preheated oven and let it cook for 15-20 minutes. Check to ensure they are tender yet crisp; if not, let them cook another 2-3 minutes. 

If you are cooking a dish at 375F, just let it cook an extra 5-10 minutes.

Pair these Oven Roasted Green Beans with Almonds with some tender Ginger Garlic Salmon filets.
