%X We demonstrate sideband-resolved Si$_3$N$_4$ optomechanical crystals supporting $10^5$ quality factor optical modes at 980 nm, coupled to $\approx4$ GHz frequency mechanical modes with quality factors of $\approx3000$. Optomechanical electromagnetically induced transparency and absorption are observed at room temperature and in atmosphere with intracavity photon numbers of the order of $10^4$.
