Baked green beans with walnuts and rosemary is an elegant and simple dish from sunny Italy. Italian cuisine is known for its ability to highlight the natural flavors of ingredients, and this recipe is a bright example of that. Crispy green beans infused with the aroma of fresh rosemary gain a rich taste, while walnuts add a delicate nutty note and a slight crunch. Olive oil gives the dish a silky texture, and baking in the oven brings out all the flavor nuances, making the beans tender yet retaining their shape. This makes for a wonderful accompaniment to meat dishes, a light side dish, or a standalone treat that is easy to prepare and enjoyable to eat. Perfect for those who appreciate simplicity and sophistication in one dish.
