Green beans tossed with garlic, lemon zest, olive oil and a little S&P are roasted to perfection. But when you add a few other goodies... toasted pine nuts, Parmigiano, lemon juice and more zest... the dish becomes rather addicting: Roasted Green Beans with Lemon, Pine Nuts and Parmigiano.
Too often I steam up green beans or broccoli, or do a simple saute of zucchini to serve as a side to our main dishes. Blah, blah, blah. Boring. This little side dish has a little pizzazz in it, and it's terrific to serve with simply grilled meat.

They look absolutely delish, Lori. A great combination of flavors.
ReplyDeleteSee! Now this is what I want. When my parents fix green beans, they slow cook them. I can't eat them like that anymore. Can't do it, nope.
ReplyDeleteThese look great!
You have no idea how much I love pine nuts! They make anything special, don't they?
ReplyDeleteI too adore roasting vegetables, no matter HOW hot it is outside - yum!! Love your dish, with the succulent flavors and addition of pine nuts!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, I just roasted fennel and carrots the other night, heat be damned! I love the flavor combo you have here and adding pinenuts sounds perfect. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteOk, I have to go find some green beans. This dish looks so tasty! I love the addition of pine nuts!
ReplyDeleteI'm guilty of the quick sautee too... and I'll admit it gets a little boring. I need to take it up a notch too :) Now with these green beans, I'll have to create new notches on the scale :)
ReplyDeleteI love roasting all my veggies too; usually with olive oil and lots of garlic! your green beans look so good!
ReplyDeleteThose beens look great, and would probably get anybody to eat their daily dose of greens!

if someone asked me three ways to improve green beans, i'd say roast 'em, top 'em with cheese, or make dilly beans. you've done two of the three here, so i'm obviously smitten. :)
ReplyDeleteI think roasted veggies is the best way to go. Even veggies that my kids don't like.. if I put some kosher salt and pepper on them and roast them, they get gobbled up!
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seen green beans cooked in such an appealing way before. You've made me drool.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever had roasted green beans. I need to remedy that soon!!
ReplyDeleteI hate to sound like everyone else, but I love pine nuts too. And you put some serious chunks of garlic in there! Awesome
ReplyDeleteI would rather have a roasted green bean then a french fry. They're addictive and totally delicious.
ReplyDeleteYum..I love fresh green beans tossed up like that!
ReplyDeleteRoasted anything is heavenly hot.
ReplyDeleteroasted beans are the beeeeeeeest!
ReplyDeleteWe totally agree! Even when it's hotter than heck out side, we'll turn on the oven. Some might think it's crazy, but the taste of roasted veggies is awesome! Especially in summer, when the produce is best!
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to get some green beens soon for another summer roast. Thanks! Looks yummy!
Ah, lemon and green beans-- a classic combination! :)
ReplyDeleteOH my GAWD. Is it wrong of me to want roasted green beans for breakfast? Because I would totally have a big old plate of these right NOW. Excellent, excellent recipe! :D
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Love this dish! I get so bored of steamed veggies, love roasting them instead. Don't do it often with green beans, love all the add ins!
ReplyDeleteohh those look delicious! i love green beans, and pine nuts, and lemon... and everything in this :)
ReplyDeleteYum! Yes, this certainly looks like the opposite of boring!
ReplyDeletethanks for the reminder how i can make green beans that i would love...
ReplyDeletethis is a PERFECT recipe.
