Instructions
- Move oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 450°F. Toss 1 pound green beans with 1 Tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Cook for 10 minutes.

- 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.
