Move oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450°F. Toss 1 pound green beans with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, ½ teaspoon sugar, ½ teaspoon of salt, and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Cook for 10 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue to cook for 8 more minutes, stirring beans halfway through. Beans should be spotty brown when done.
While the beans are cooking, stir together minced garlic, 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, and the remaining 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a medium, heatproof bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute until bubbling. Let sit for a minute, then whisk in 2 teaspoons lemon juice, ½ teaspoon dijon mustard, ⅛ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper.
Add the cooked beans and 1 Tablespoon minced fresh chives to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat. Divide beans evenly among 2-4 dishes, and top each portion with an equal amount of goat cheese and hazelnuts.
