  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For almond breadcrumbs

  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped almonds
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Zest of 1 lemon

For green beans

  • 1 pound green beans, trimmed
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for toasting the almond breadcrumbs mixture.
  2. Toast the almond breadcrumbs: In a glass pie plate, combine panko breadcrumbs, chopped almonds, sunflower seeds, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir to incorporate evenly. Place in the preheated oven and toast for about 12-15 minutes until the mixture turns lightly golden. Then, carefully stir in the lemon zest and set aside.
  3. Increase oven temperature: Raise the oven temperature to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the green beans.
  4. Prepare green beans: On a sheet pan, toss trimmed green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well coated. Spread the green beans into a single layer to ensure even roasting.
  5. Roast green beans: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the green beans for 12-15 minutes until they become blistered but still maintain some crispness. Be careful not to overcook to keep their vibrant texture.
  6. Toss and serve: Once roasted, toss the green beans with the toasted almond breadcrumb mixture. Transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overcook the green beans to maintain their texture and flavor.
  • Make sure to evenly spread green beans on the sheet pan to allow proper roasting.
  • The lemon zest in the almond breadcrumbs adds a fresh brightness—don’t skip it.
  • For a nut-free version, you can omit almonds and substitute with more sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
  • Use freshly crumbled feta for the best flavor and texture.
