Easy Roasted Green Beans
Description
In the Easy Roasted Green Beans recipe, whole fresh green beans are trimmed and spread on a foil-lined baking sheet. They are tossed with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly. The beans are roasted in a 425°F oven on the middle rack for 18 to 20 minutes, during which they become soft with some charred edges from contact with the pan.
This roasting method enhances the beans' natural sweetness and imparts a subtle smoky flavor from the charring. The garlic powder adds a gentle pungency without overpowering the vegetable. The texture of the finished beans is tender yet still slightly crisp, making a versatile side dish.
They are best served immediately after roasting to retain their texture. Optional additions after roasting include freshly grated Parmesan cheese for additional flavor. This straightforward recipe suits a variety of meals requiring a roasted vegetable component.
Care should be taken to ensure beans are dry before roasting to prevent steaming instead of roasting.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Green bean fresh
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F and move the rack to the middle position. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy clean-up.
- Add the beans to the baking sheet. I inspect them and cut off any dried ends. Coat them in the olive oil and sprinkle the garlic powder and salt & pepper (I'm generous with both) over top. Toss with your hands until everything is evenly coated. Spread out in a fairly even layer (doesn't have to be perfect, but it's best if they're not touching too much).
- Roast for 18-20 minutes. Beans will be soft and have a bit of char (especially on the side that's touching the baking sheet). Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure the green beans are dry before roasting to achieve a crisp texture.
- Garlic powder is optional and can be omitted if preferred.
- Toss with freshly grated Parmesan cheese immediately after roasting for extra flavor.
- Nutritional values are approximate and can vary by ingredients used.
