Recipe Introduction


If you've never tasted a roasted green bean, you're in for a big treat. Don't shy away from the anchovies; if they usually taste too fishy for you, just soak them in milk for about 20 minutes to tame them. This is one of those astound-your-guests recipes; everyone who tastes them will be amazed by the beans & they won't guess the secret ingredient. Food & Wine named this recipe one of the best they've published in the last decade!


List of Ingredients




1 pound green beans, trimmed
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, smashed
3 fresh thyme springs, halved
salt & pepper to taste
3 anchovy fillets, mashed
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
2-3 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Recipe



Preheat the overn to 450°F and set a rack on the upper level.

Toss the beans with the oil, garlic & thyme in a large baking dish; season with salt & pepper. Spread the beans out in a single layer & roast, tossing occasionally, until tender & lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Discard the thyme springs & transfer the beans to a bowl. Add the anchovies, lemon zest & lemon juice and toss well to coat. Serve warm or at room temperature.
