Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound Fresh Green Beans vibrant and crunchy, the star of the dish
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil adds richness and helps achieve the perfect roast
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt enhances flavor and draws out moisture
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper brings a mild heat and depth to the beans
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder infuses a rich garlic flavor without the fuss of fresh garlic

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water to clean them.
  • Trim the ends of the green beans using kitchen scissors or a knife.
  • Pat the beans dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture for better roasting.

Cooking

  • Place the trimmed green beans in a large mixing bowl.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil, then sprinkle the kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder over the beans.
  • Toss the beans until fully coated in oil and seasonings.
  • Spread the beans evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until tender-crisp and slightly caramelized.

Serving

  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the beans cool for a few minutes.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding extra salt or pepper.
  • Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish and serve immediately.
  • For an extra touch, drizzle with a little more olive oil or lemon zest before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, arrange the beans in a single layer, ensuring they don't touch. To save time, wash and prep your green beans in advance and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. These roasted green beans are meal prep-friendly and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
