Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon creamy Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Lemon zest for garnish

Instructions

  • Set the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook for 3 minutes, until bright green and crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels and transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add the green beans and stir gently to coat.
  • Group the beans into 8 bundles (about 8–10 beans each), and tie each bundle with a 12-inch piece of kitchen twine. Place the bundles, tie side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for 6 minutes, flip each bundle, and roast another 6 minutes, until the tips are lightly browned.
  • Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle lightly with lemon zest, and serve hot.
