Roasted Green Beans with Lemon & Walnuts

I first tasted roasted green beans in a Chinese restaurant and fell in love with the texture and flavor. This is my Americanized version and it's always a big hit at our holiday table. —Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia

    EXCELLENT - Great as is, but is fine without the walnuts as well.

    Delicious green beans but just a little too much lemon. Next time I will either omit or cut back on the lemon zest. However, we cleaned our plates. Super easy and delicious! Volunteer Field Editor

    Delicious green beans! However the shallots were burning about 5 minutes in, so next time I'll wait 5 minutes until the green beans are done to add the shallots.
