Ingredients
  • 1 lb green beans, stems trimmed off
  • 1-2 TBSP olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste (I suggest being fairly generous)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Spread the green beans into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet (line with parchment or foil first for easier cleanup, if you wish). Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and a bit of black pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.
  3. Place on the center rack, and roast for about 8-10 minutes. I like the green beans to be tender, but still ever so slightly crisp inside. Check them often towards the end, and remove when they've reached your desired level of doneness.
  4. Taste, and if necessary add a pinch more salt.
Notes
The great thing about this recipe (besides everything) is that the green beans can be made at just about any oven temp. So for instance, they can go in at 350F for around 12 minutes, or 425F for 7-8 minutes, or anywhere in between.
This means I can easily throw a pan into the oven along with whatever else I'm making (towards the end of cooking) and have a side dish ready at the same time as the main course.
