Cashew Free Crispy Smoky Paprika Green Beans

These roasted green beans are the kind of side dish that disappears from the platter before you even sit down. A screaming-hot sheet pan and a high oven temperature are the real secrets here — they create those gorgeous blistered, lightly charred edges that make every bite satisfying in a way that steamed vegetables simply never are. Garlic-infused oil coats each bean in rich, savory flavor, while smoked paprika adds a deep, woodsy warmth that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. A pinch of cayenne brings optional heat, and a bright squeeze of lemon juice at the end cuts right through everything and keeps the flavors lively. Nut-free cooking doesn't mean sacrificing bold flavor, and this recipe proves it with a short, clean ingredient list that relies entirely on pantry staples and fresh produce. Scattered scallion greens add a pop of color and a mild oniony finish that makes the dish look as good as it tastes. Serve it straight from the oven while the edges are still crisp and the paprika is still fragrant.
