- 1 ½ tsp oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 12 oz green beans, larger ones cut in half

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, and paprika.
- In a separate bowl, place the green beans and drizzle 1 tablespoon of the marinade over them, tossing to coat. Pour the beans onto the baking sheet and roast for 5 minutes.

- Optional: Before serving, add crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs like parsley or dill on top.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the salmon for up to 30 minutes before cooking.
Feel free to substitute vegetables based on seasonality or preference, such as asparagus or bell peppers.
