Roasted Green Beans

For a vegetable side to reach the regular weeknight rotation, it has to be delicious and a no-brainer—just like these shallot-y roasted green beans. Simply toss fresh beans in olive oil and season with some salt and pepper before roasting on high heat, then finish under the broiler.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb. green beans, trimmed
• 1 shallot, thinly sliced into rings
• 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

• 1. Step 1Arrange racks in center and upper third of oven; preheat to 500°. In a large bowl, toss green beans, shallots, and oil until combined; season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spread green beans on 2 rimmed baking sheets.
  2. Step 2Roast beans on center rack until starting to wilt and soften, 7 to 8 minutes.
  3. Step 3Heat broiler on high. Move sheet trays to top rack and broil, watching closely, until lightly blistered, 5 to 7 minutes more; season with salt, if needed.
  4. Step 4Transfer beans to a platter. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.
