Ingredients
Scale
Green Beans
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
Seasonings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the green beans from sticking.
- Toss Green Beans: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed green beans with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Toss thoroughly to ensure the beans are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Arrange for Roasting: Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow even roasting and prevent sogginess.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispness. Roast until the beans are tender and slightly blistered.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. Optionally, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese for extra flavor and garnish.
Notes
- Adding lemon juice or parmesan cheese after roasting enhances flavor.
- For crisper beans, roast a few minutes longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Use fresh green beans for best texture and taste.
- Adjust seasoning according to personal preference.
