ROASTED GREEN BEANS WITH PANCETTA AND LEMON ZEST
This simple, bright green bean dish is as welcome alongside weeknight salmon as it is a Thanksgiving turkey. Green beans are delicious roasted at a high temperature and take just 15 minutes to cook, which particularly important on Thanksgiving when oven space is precious. Trim the green beans ahead of time, and this dish will come together in a flash. Many grocery stores sell packages of diced pancetta, a shortcut that makes this recipe a cinch. If you're dicing the pancetta yourself, make sure to chop it very finely so it roasts in time with the green beans. (This recipe is easily halved: Simply cut the quantities in half and roast all the green beans on one sheet pan. The cooking time will remain the same.)

- Sprinkle with the lemon juice. Season with salt to taste, toss, and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with the lemon zest and serve hot or warm.

Tips:
- Use fresh green beans. Fresh green beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than frozen or canned beans.
- Trim the green beans properly. Trim the ends of the green beans, but do not remove the strings. The strings help to hold the beans together during cooking.
- Cook the green beans until they are tender-crisp. Green beans should be cooked until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooked green beans will be mushy.
- Use good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
- Add the zaatar and lemon at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve the flavor and aroma of the zaatar and lemon.
Conclusion:
Green beans with zaatar and lemon is a simple but delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The green beans are tender-crisp and flavorful, and the zaatar and lemon add a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is also very easy to make, so it's a great option for busy weeknights.
