Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine the green beans with the olive oil, ensuring each bean is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the green beans with the freshly ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, tossing them until well mixed.
Spread the seasoned green beans in an even layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the green beans for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
Once the green beans are done roasting, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish.
While still hot, sprinkle the green beans with lemon zest and freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly roasted, low sodium green beans!
