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. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  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.
  8. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until beans are tender with caramelized edges.
