Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds fresh green beans trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional, for serving

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Thoroughly wash the green beans, then trim the ends.
  3. Pat the beans completely dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. This step is crucial for crispy results!
  4. Place the dried green beans on a large baking sheet.
  5. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  6. Toss with your hands to ensure the beans are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
  7. Spread the beans in a single layer across the baking sheet, ensuring they aren't crowded. Use two baking sheets if needed.
  8. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until beans are tender with caramelized edges.
  9. For extra crispy beans, stir halfway through cooking time.
  10. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh lemon juice if desired.
  11. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
