Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse and trim the ends off of the green beans.
Pat the green beans dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove any excess water.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the beans are evenly coated.
Spread the green beans out on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and have begun to caramelize.
Halfway through roasting, toss the green beans with a spatula to ensure they cook evenly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the lemon zest over the roasted green beans for a touch of freshness.
Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
