Roasted garlic green beans with thyme

Roasted garlic green beans with thyme is a simple yet flavorful side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. It's a healthy option that brings a delicious blend of garlic and herb flavors to your table. This recipe is quick to prepare and perfect for adding a gourmet touch to your meal without much effort.

Ingredients:

2 cups green beans
200g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g
1/4 tsp dried thyme
0.35g
2 garlic cloves
6g

Instructions:

2. Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans thoroughly under cold water. Trim the ends off each green bean. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
3. Prepare the Garlic: Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Ensure the pieces are small so they distribute evenly among the green beans and roast well.
4. Mix Ingredients:
- Place the trimmed green beans in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the green beans, ensuring each one is lightly coated.
- Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the bowl.
- Toss everything together until the green beans are evenly coated with the oil, garlic, and thyme. You can use your hands or a pair of tongs for this step.
5. Roast the Green Beans:
- Spread the seasoned green beans out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overlapping too much for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
6. Roasting Time: Roast the green beans for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, turning them once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
7. Check for Doneness: The green beans should be tender when pierced with a fork and have a slightly browned appearance. If they need a bit more time, continue roasting in 3-5 minute increments, checking frequently.
8. Serve: Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Use fresh green beans for the best texture and flavor. If using frozen beans, make sure to thaw and pat them dry before cooking.

- To ensure even roasting, spread the green beans in a single layer on the baking sheet.

- Finely chop the garlic cloves to ensure they release maximum flavor during roasting.

- For a burst of acidity and an extra layer of flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice over the roasted green beans just before serving.

- If you prefer a more intense garlic flavor, consider roasting the garlic cloves separately and then mixing them with the green beans before serving.
