Notes
- Reheat roasted green beans covered in the oven at 350°F for 4-6 minutes or in the microwave to retain texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to four days, or freeze for up to two months; thaw before reheating.
- Green beans shrink considerably when cooked; plan portions accordingly for larger groups.
- Adding a squeeze of lemon juice before roasting enhances flavor alongside garlic and olive oil.
