Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Place the green beans in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss the green beans gently to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on the sheet, ensuring there is space between each bean for proper roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the green beans for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and lightly browned.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the freshly roasted green beans with lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest for a bright, citrusy flavor.
Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley to add a pop of color and freshness before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Perfectly Roasted Green Beans as a delicious side dish.
