Macadamia Free Crispy Smoky Paprika Green Beans

These roasted green beans are the kind of side dish that disappears from the platter before the main course even hits the table. A screaming-hot sheet pan is the secret weapon here — it gives the beans those gorgeous blistered, lightly charred edges that make them taste like something from a wood-fired kitchen rather than your home oven. Garlic-infused oil and smoked paprika do the heavy lifting on flavor, coating every bean in a warm, savory crust with just enough heat from the optional cayenne to keep things interesting. A bright hit of lemon juice at the end cuts through the smokiness and makes the whole dish pop. Scallions scattered on top add a fresh, mild bite that rounds everything out beautifully. The ingredient list is short, straightforward, and completely free of tree nuts — no label-checking required, just real, simple produce and pantry staples you likely already have on hand. Serve these straight from the oven while they're still crackling and you'll wonder why you ever settled for steamed green beans.
