Here's a beautiful, delicious, and healthy side dish that's super easy to make and impressive-looking enough to serve at any dinner party. It also requires just six ingredients, most of which you may have on hand already. We love the color and flavor contrast of the oven-roasted beans, toasted chopped hazelnuts, and shaved Pecorino cheese, while a squeeze of lemon juice gives it a touch of citrusy brightness. To make the dish a bit more substantial as a main, you can add 2 cans of rinsed and drained chickpeas to the green beans and divide the mixture between 2 baking sheets. Roast them together and then top with the nuts and cheese.
