1 onion, peeled, cut into 8 wedges |
6 large fresh marjoram sprigs |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
coarse kosher salt |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1 teaspoon (packed) finely grated lemon peel |
1/2 cup coarsely chopped marcona almonds or roasted regular almonds |
Directions:

Combine green beans, onion wedges, and marjoram in large bowl. Drizzle with oil, then sprinkle with coarse kosher salt and pepper. Toss; divide between prepared sheets.
