Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams green beans
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans, then pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the red bell peppers into thin strips, discarding the seeds and stem.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, red bell pepper strips, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the green beans are tender and slightly caramelized, and the red peppers are soft and slightly charred.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the roasted vegetables with lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
