Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash and trim the rough ends off the green beans. Pat them very dry with clean tea towels (wet green beans turn soggy in the oven).
- Place the prepared green beans on your baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the beans and sprinkle the salt all over. Use your hands to toss until all of the beans are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the green beans across the pan in a single layer.
- Roast for 14 to 16 minutes, undisturbed, until they are crisp-tender with some golden, caramelized spots. (If using slender haricots verts, they may be ready a couple of minutes earlier.)
- Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy with any desired accompaniments (see recipe notes for seasoning suggestions). Roasted green beans are best enjoyed while warm, but will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for 4 to 5 days.

Tips:
- Trim the green beans: Before roasting, trim the ends of the green beans to remove any tough or woody stems. This will ensure that they cook evenly and have a more tender texture.
- Use a high-quality maple syrup: The quality of the maple syrup you use will greatly impact the flavor of the roasted green beans. Choose a pure maple syrup that is Grade A or higher. Darker syrups will have a more robust flavor than lighter syrups.
- Roast the green beans at a high temperature: Roasting the green beans at a high temperature will help to caramelize the sugars in the maple syrup and create a delicious nutty flavor. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Toss the green beans with the maple syrup mixture before roasting: This will help to ensure that the green beans are evenly coated with the maple syrup and spices. You can use a large bowl or a plastic bag to toss the green beans.
- Roast the green beans until they are tender-crisp: The roasting time will vary depending on the thickness of your green beans. Aim for a roasting time of about 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and slightly browned.
- Serve the roasted green beans immediately: Roasted green beans are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served as a side dish or as a snack.
