Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 medium lime
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Wash and trim the ends off the green beans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure they roast properly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the green beans are evenly coated.
Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. For extra crispy results, avoid overcrowding the pan.
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the green beans are tender and lightly browned on the edges.
While the green beans are roasting, zest the lime and set the zest aside. Then, cut the lime in half and juice it into a small bowl.
Once the green beans are finished roasting, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lime juice. Sprinkle the lime zest over the top for extra flavor.
If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick of heat.
Serve the roasted green beans warm and enjoy!
