Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh green beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash the green beans under cold running water, then trim the ends. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to ensure they roast beautifully.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, and red pepper flakes. Toss until the beans are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they have enough space to roast and not steam instead.
Step 5
Roast the green beans in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, checking occasionally, until they are lightly browned and tender-crisp.
Step 6
Remove the roasted green beans from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve warm as a delicious and heart-healthy side dish.
