Units
Scale
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
- Fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Green Beans: Wash and trim the green beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Season: In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Roast: Spread the seasoned green beans in an even layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the green beans are golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Finish and Serve: Optionally, drizzle the roasted green beans with fresh lemon juice, then garnish with fresh parsley or grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, leave a little space between the green beans on the baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overcrowd.
- You can also add other seasonings such as smoked paprika, thyme, or rosemary for a different flavor profile.
- These green beans pair wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled fish, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
