This Garlic-roasted Haricots Verts Recipe Is From Go-To Dinner Cookbook by Ina Garten.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 pound French string beans (haricots verts), stem ends removed
• Good olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, grated on a Microplane
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• Freshly grated lemon zest, to taste (1 lemon)

How To Make Garlic-roasted Haricots Verts?

1. Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 220°C / 425°F.
2. Prepare the beans: Place the trimmed haricots verts on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, add grated garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
3. Spread and roast: Spread the beans out in a single layer and roast for 6 to 8 minutes, until they are crisp-tender and start to brown on the bottom.
4. Add lemon zest and serve: Zest the lemon directly over the warm beans and gently toss. Add a final sprinkle of salt if desired, and serve hot or warm.

Recipe Tips:

• Use fresh, thin haricots verts: Choose fresh, thin French green beans for the best texture and flavor. Thicker beans may take longer to roast and might not turn out as tender.
• Toss the beans well in oil and seasoning: Make sure each bean is coated with oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. This helps them roast evenly and enhances their flavor.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan: Spread the beans in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will make them steam instead of roast, which affects their crispness.
• Keep an eye on roasting time: Roasting times can vary based on your oven. Check them after 6 minutes; they should be tender but slightly browned on the bottom.
• Add lemon zest while beans are hot: Zesting the lemon over warm beans releases more citrus oils, boosting the fresh, zesty flavor.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Garlic-Roasted Haricots Verts cool to room temperature. Then, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F. Spread the beans on a baking sheet and heat for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
