A delightful twist on roasted green beans, enhanced with garlic for a flavorful side dish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures the oven is at the right temperature for even roasting.
Wash and trim the green beans, then pat them dry.
Drying the beans helps them roast instead of steam.
In a mixing bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Mixing in a bowl ensures even coating of the seasonings.
Spread the green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet.
A single layer allows the beans to roast evenly.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beans are tender and slightly browned.
Stirring halfway ensures even browning.
Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.
Garnish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.
