Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound fresh green beans Look for vibrant, crisp beans
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds Toast for extra flavor
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Adds aroma and flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste Adjust according to preference

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and trim the green beans, snapping off the ends.
  3. In a large bowl, drizzle olive oil, sprinkle garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper over the beans. Toss gently until coated.
Cooking
  1. Spread the green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle sliced almonds on top.
  2. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
  3. Serve warm, optionally adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of Parmesan.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan for perfect roast. Try adding lemon zest or red pepper flakes for variations. Leftovers can be used in salads or pasta dishes.
