Green beans are a total lifesaver when you need a quick vegetable side. They go well with almost everything from roasted chicken to a hearty piece of fish. I love how simple they are to prepare without needing any fancy equipment or hard to find ingredients.

My top tip for this recipe is to make sure you dry your green beans well after rinsing them. If they are too damp, they will steam in the oven instead of getting those nice browned edges. A little bit of color makes all the difference in the world for the flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Place the trimmed green beans on a large baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Drizzle the olive oil over the beans and sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  4. 4

    Toss everything together with your hands or tongs until the beans are evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Spread the beans out in a single layer so they have plenty of room to roast.

  6. 6

    Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until they are tender and starting to brown on the edges.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven, squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the top, and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can reheat them in a pan over medium heat to help them regain some of their original crunch.
