Oven Roasted Green Beans (serves 2 – 4)

If you've perused any of my recipes, you've noticed I roast a lot of vegetables,--eggplant, baby carrots, roma tomatoes. Until it was mentioned to me a couple of months ago I would've never thought of roasting green beans. Of course, I had to try it. This is a variation on the Roasted Green Bean recipe from the Healthy Recipes Blog. 

Oven Roasted Green Beans (serves 2 – 4) 

¼ – ½ pound green beans 

1 tablespoon olive oil 

½ teaspoon onion powder 

½ teaspoon garlic power 

1) Wash green beans, remove any stems, palce in airtight container and refrigerate 5 hours to overnight. 

2) Place oven rack on middle run setting. Preheat oven to 425 degrees farenheit. 

3) Line a 15 inch by 10 inch baking sheet with aluminum foil (this make cleaup easier). 

4) In a medium bowl, coat green beans with olive oil. 

5) Spread beans in a single layer on baking sheet. 

6) Sprinkle onion powder and garlic powder atop beans. 

7) Bake 10 – 15 minutes in oven. Beans will make “sizzle” sound as they cook. 

8) Cool 1-2 minutes. Serve.
