Ingredients
- 1 lb washed and trimmed green beans 454 grams
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper
For the aioli
- 1/2 cup vegan mayo
- 1 clove garlic finely chopped or squeezed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- a good pinch of salt
For serving
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons capers
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
- Put the beans in the tray, mix in the oil, and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
- Put the beans in the oven for 10 or 15 min. You'll know they are done when they are a little crispy
- While the beans are in the oven mix the "mayo", garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
- Put the green beans in a serving plate and add the aioli, capers and the lemon zest.
Notes
- You can fry the capers in a pan with a little vegetable oil for 5 minutes or until they start to brown.
- Use an oil with a moderate smoke point like grape seed (organic preferably because conventional grapes have lots of pesticides), coconut or avocado.
- You can use homemade mayo or your favorite kind. Make sure when you buy it it doesn't have an endless list of ingredients and if you find one made with olive oil...score!
- When I use garlic in my recipes, I like to let it rest for a bit.
