Ingredients
Roasted Green Beans
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°.
- Wash the green beans and pat completely dry. Trim the stem off each side. (You can do this faster by lining them all up and trimming several at a time.)
- Place them on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread them out evenly. (Note: A darker baking sheet will give you a little bit more of a darker roast, which is my preference.)
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and add the almonds. Toss to coat, then bake for 3-5 more minutes. Remove and serve!
Notes
- The nutritional facts assume that 1 Tablespoon of olive oil remains on the green beans and that the other is left on the baking sheet.
- A squeeze of lemon juice after roasting adds a hint of tangy, fresh flavor.
- Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, sautéed mushrooms, pine nuts, walnuts, and roughly chopped peanuts all make great ingredient additions.
