Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons pine nuts
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim the ends of the green beans and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Place the green beans on a large baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer for even roasting.
Drizzle the green beans with olive oil. Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper over the beans.
Using your hands or a spatula, toss the green beans until they are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
Roast the green beans in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly charred on the edges.
While the beans are roasting, toast the pine nuts. Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat and add the pine nuts. Cook them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Once the green beans are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish and sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful roasted green beans with garlic and pine nuts!
