Time 20m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (2 tablespoons)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small lemon, very thinly sliced (about 1/3 cup)

Steps:

  • Blanch green beans in a large pot of salted water until tender, 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large plate or rimmed baking sheet to cool.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until softened and just beginning to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Add green beans and season generously with salt and pepper.

Serve hot, or preferably at room temperature.

ROASTED GREEN BEANS WITH PANCETTA AND LEMON ZEST



Roasted Green Beans With Pancetta and Lemon Zest image

This simple, bright green bean dish is as welcome alongside weeknight salmon as it is a Thanksgiving turkey. Green beans are delicious roasted at a high temperature and take just 15 minutes to cook, which particularly important on Thanksgiving when oven space is precious. Trim the green beans ahead of time, and this dish will come together in a flash. Many grocery stores sell packages of diced pancetta, a shortcut that makes this recipe a cinch. If you're dicing the pancetta yourself, make sure to chop it very finely so it roasts in time with the green beans. (This recipe is easily halved: Simply cut the quantities in half and roast all the green beans on one sheet pan. The cooking time will remain the same.)
