Roasted green beans with olive oil

Roasted green beans are a simple yet flavorful side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. This recipe calls for just a few ingredients—fresh green beans, olive oil, salt, and black pepper—to create a delicious and healthy addition to any meal. Follow these instructions to achieve perfectly roasted green beans every time.

Ingredients:

8 cups green beans
800g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 tsp salt
6g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Trim the ends of the green beans using a sharp knife.
3. Season the Green Beans: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans with the olive oil. Toss them well to ensure each green bean is evenly coated with the oil.
4. Add Salt and Pepper: Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the green beans. Toss them again to distribute the seasoning uniformly.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned green beans out in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded, as this will help them roast evenly and get nice and crispy.
6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the green beans for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time. They should be tender and slightly blistered when done.
7. Serve: Remove the roasted green beans from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Serve warm as a side dish to your favorite main course.

Tips:

- Make sure to wash and thoroughly dry the green beans before roasting them. This helps achieve a crispier texture.

- For uniform cooking, try to select green beans that are roughly the same size. Trim the ends to ensure even roasting.

- If you prefer a bit of extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or lemon zest to the olive oil before tossing the green beans.

- Roast the green beans in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking. Overcrowding can lead to steaming rather than roasting.

- Stir the green beans halfway through the roasting time to promote even browning.

- Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings, such as crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat or Parmesan cheese for added richness.

With minimal ingredients and effort, roasted green beans are an excellent choice for a quick, healthy, and flavorful side dish. The olive oil, salt, and black pepper enhance the natural taste of the green beans, making them a crowd-pleasing addition to any table. Enjoy your perfectly roasted green beans with your favorite main course!
