How to Make Back To Basics Roasted Green Beans

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss trimmed green beans and sliced mushrooms with olive oil, thyme leaves, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the green bean mixture in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and slightly browned.
  5. While the green beans are roasting, toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Shake the pan frequently to prevent burning.
  6. Once the green beans are cooked, remove them from the oven.
  7. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice.
  8. Add the toasted walnuts and gently toss to combine.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
