Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ½ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  2. Add the green beans to the pan and toss them with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. I use my hands to ensure the beans are well coated.
  3. Spread the coated beans in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  4. Roast them until tender and browned in spots, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • As with most vegetables, you should avoid overcooking green beans. You want them to be al dente, just like pasta. When done, they should still have a "bite" and a bit of crunch - you don't want them soft and mushy.
  • Dry the green beans thoroughly after washing them. Otherwise, they will steam instead of roasting. 
  • I prefer garlic powder to fresh minced garlic because it's easier to evenly distribute. But if you use fresh minced garlic, that's fine.
  • You can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. I like to eat them cold, like antipasti. But if you wish, you can reheat them uncovered in a 350° oven or covered in the microwave at 50% power. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers.
