- P๏ปฟlace the veggies in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. The oven rack should be in the lower third of your oven, but not on the very bottom.
- W๏ปฟhile they begin roasting, chop the flat leaf parsley. You will not need a whole bunch of parsley, so start small chopping it until you reach a half cup.
- Finely chop the shallot. One shallot should be all you need, and you may not need a whole shallot to reach 2 Tbsp.

- Y๏ปฟou will know the vegetables are done when they are starting to brown, and you can easily pierce the carrots with a fork.
- S๏ปฟerve the roasted green beans and carrots with the shallot gremolata spooned on top.
Notes
Y๏ปฟou can use rainbow colored carrots for this recipe if you like, it adds a nice pop of additional color.
O๏ปฟrange zest would be a nice substitute for the lemon if you want to try something different.
T๏ปฟhe vegetables and gremolata may be prepped in advance and cooked later if needed. Be sure to store the gremolata and the vegetables separately if you are prepping in advance.
