Roasted Green Beans

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

2 lbs green beans

1 -2 tablespoon olive oil (or just enough to lightly coat beans)

1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste, may substitute with Mrs. Dash if desired)

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (or to taste, omit if using Mrs. Dash)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Wash, dry well, and trim green beans.

Put green beans on a jelly roll pan.

Drizzle with olive oil.

Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste (I like them salty so I use about 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and about 8-10 grinds of the pepper mill). *Mrs. Dash may be substituted for salt and pepper as desired.

Use your hands to be sure all the beans are evenly coated and spread them out into 1 layer.

Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning after 15 minutes, until beans are fairly brown in spots and somewhat shriveled.

Serve hot or at room temperature.
