Roasted Green Beans are definitely the best way to eat fresh green beans. Don't eat canned anymore, because Roasted Green Beans are just as easy and packed with flavor.
Trim the ends from 1 lb fresh green beans and wash them thoroughly. Pat dry.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp minced garlic.
Spread the green beans evenly on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil and garlic mixture over the green beans and toss to coat.
Season the green beans with ¼ tsp salt and ¼ tsp black pepper.
Roast for 15–20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and lightly browned.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
You can also season with approximately 1/4 tsp of Red Pepper Flakes if you like spicy or top with 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese for cheesy garlic green beans!
