Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 unit lemon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Wash the green beans thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. Trim off the stem ends, if not already done.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, minced garlic (or use a garlic press), kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure the beans are evenly coated.
Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. The green beans should be tender and lightly browned in spots when done.
Optional: Once the green beans are out of the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over them for a bright, tangy flavor.
Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish and enjoy immediately as a side dish to any meal!
