Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure they roast evenly.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray the green beans with olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated, but not drenched.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper evenly over the green beans. Toss gently with your hands if necessary to coat them well.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the green beans for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly blistered or golden in spots.
Remove from the oven and, if desired, sprinkle with lemon zest to brighten the flavors.
Serve immediately as a side dish for any meal. Enjoy!
