Equipment

  • large bowl
  • parchment paper
  • rimmed baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz fresh green beans, ends trimmed – equals about 3 cups of beans
  • 2 small shallots, cut into rings about ¼” thick
  • 4 tsp teaspoons neutral oil, such as canola or safflower
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • Sea salt, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the baking rack in the middle position in the oven.
  • In a large bowl, toss green beans with shallots and oil until they are lightly coated. Cut a piece of parchment paper to the same size as the bottom of a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet. Line the sheet and pour the bean/shallot mixture onto it, making sure they’re in a single layer.
  • Roast the beans for 10 minutes. Check on them at this point – if the shallots and beans are becoming very brown, remove them from the oven. Otherwise, roast for another 5 minutes until the beans are beginning to char around the edges.
  • To serve, season with sea salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
