  • 12 mins
  • 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup whole-milk Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 pounds green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta
  • 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 small red onion, diced
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/2 cup almonds, toasted and chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Mix the yogurt, lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; set aside.

Toss the green beans with the olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt. Spread in a single layer, transfer to the oven and roast until nicely charred and cooked through, about 13 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook until crisp, about 2 minutes per side. Add the caraway seeds and onion and cook, stirring, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and almonds.

Toss the green beans with the pancetta mixture and transfer to a platter. Spoon the yogurt mixture on top.
