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

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Stir together the panko breadcrumbs, almonds, sunflower seeds, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a glass pie plate. Toast in the oven until lightly golden, about 12-15 minutes. Carefully stir in the lemon zest. Set aside.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F.
  • Toss the green beans with 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on a sheet pan. Spread into a single layer. Roast for 12-15 until the green beans are blistered. (Make sure not to overcook the green beans.)
  • Toss the green beans with the almond breadcrumbs. Transfer to a serving dish and top with crumbled feta.

Notes

You can substitute the almonds with walnuts.
If you want a more subtle cheese, then sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese or even shaved Parmesan.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days. Eat them cold in a salad or warm them on a sheet pan in a 350-degree F oven for 2-3 minutes. They are best eaten when they are freshly roasted.
To make the recipe vegan, omit the cheese.
To make the topping gluten free, use gluten free panko breadcrumbs.
