Roasted Green Beans (Cook's Illustrated)

By Venzie

Ingredients

• 1 pound green beans, stem ends snapped off
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• Table salt and ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 to 20 minutes


Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread the beans on the baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss with your hands to coat. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of salt, toss again to coat evenly, and distribute the beans in an even layer. Roast for 10 minutes.

Using tongs, redistribute the beans on the baking sheet, and continue roasting another 5 to 10 minutes, until beans are beginning to shrivel and turn dark golden brown in spots. Grind some fresh black pepper over the top of the beans, transfer to a serving bowl, and enjoy.
