- Season the green beans: Toss the beans with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as herbs or spices, to taste.
- Roast the green beans: Spread the beans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Serve the green beans: Green beans can be served as a side dish or as a main course. They are also a great addition to salads, soups, and stews.
