Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 medium lime
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Step 2
Wash and trim the ends off the green beans. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to ensure they roast properly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the green beans are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. For extra crispy results, avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the green beans are tender and lightly browned on the edges.
Step 6
While the green beans are roasting, zest the lime and set the zest aside. Then, cut the lime in half and juice it into a small bowl.
Step 7
Once the green beans are finished roasting, remove them from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lime juice. Sprinkle the lime zest over the top for extra flavor.
Step 8
If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick of heat.
Step 9
Serve the roasted green beans warm and enjoy!
