  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
Optional Toppings

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the trimmed green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss well until evenly coated.
  4. Lay the green beans out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Cooking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, tossing the beans halfway through.
  2. In the last couple of minutes, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the beans if using.
  3. Once out of the oven, drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
Serving

Notes

To ensure maximum crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. You can also substitute other seasonings like Italian herbs or chili flakes for a different flavor.
