Roasted Green Beans
A perfect spring dish! The beans are slow roasted in fresh chopped garlic and shallots then drizzled with lemon juice to give them a truly flavorful spring feel.
Green beans are an easy and healthy side dish that take no time at all to prepare. I had bought these fresh in a steam bag but opted to roasted them for a little more flavor, but if your rushed for time then steaming is just as delicious.
Make sure to drizzle the lemon juice after your done roasted the beans, otherwise the flavor can become a bit overwhelming.
I served this with a simple seasoned chicken sautee and brown rice.
