Roasted Garlic Green Beans
Five minutes to prep, 20 minutes to roast, and so delicious you just may find yourself sneaking a few before they hit the dinner table.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder see note
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 12-15 cranks fresh-ground black pepper
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly rinse the green beans, if necessary, and trim off any long dried ends.
- Place beans on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss with your hands or with kitchen tongs until evenly coated, then spread out the beans into an even layer.
- Place in the oven and roast for about 18 minutes, until the beans are tender and have dark brown spots. Sample, add more salt and pepper to taste, and serve right away. Enjoy!

Notes
- Garlic Powder. Why garlic powder rather than fresh? The tiny granules more evenly coat the green beans than is possible with even the most finely-minced garlic clove, leading to a more consistent flavor. Plus, any reduction in chopping is a win! That said, you can certainly use fresh garlic if you prefer: start with 2-3 cloves, and they can be minced or thinly-sliced, then tossed in with the green beans as directed.
- Cooking Time: Haricots verts cook more quickly than traditional green beans, so if using them, begin checking for doneness around the 15 minute mark.
