Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven ensures your green beans get that perfect roasted texture.

Spray your sheet pan, pour the green beans on the pan. Spray with olive oil to coat. Then sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly over the green beans. Toss to combine.
Step 3: Roast in the Oven
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes. The green beans should be tender and slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve your oven-roasted green beans hot as a delightful side dish to complement your main course. Enjoy the deliciously simple flavors!
Tips for Success
- Even Roasting: Make sure the green beans are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. Overcrowding can result in steaming rather than roasting.
- Watch Closely: Keep an eye on the green beans during the last few minutes of roasting to prevent them from burning.
- Add-Ins: Feel free to experiment with additional spices and herbs like thyme, rosemary, or paprika for different flavor profiles.
