While the beans are in the oven mix the "mayo", garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
Put the green beans in a serving plate and add the aioli, capers and the lemon zest.
Notes
You can fry the capers in a pan with a little vegetable oil for 5 minutes or until they start to brown.
Use an oil with a moderate smoke point like grape seed (organic preferably because conventional grapes have lots of pesticides), coconut or avocado.
You can use homemade mayo or your favorite kind. Make sure when you buy it it doesn't have an endless list of ingredients and if you find one made with olive oil...score!
When I use garlic in my recipes, I like to let it rest for a bit.
