# Ingredient List:

→ Aromatics & Spices

02 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

# How to Make It:

03 - Spread green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The high heat roasting creates these irresistible blistered spots that make every bite interesting
  • You can prep everything in ten minutes and let the oven do the rest while you handle the main course
02 -
  • I once skipped the parchment paper and spent twenty minutes scrubbing baked-on oil off my baking sheet
  • Overcrowding the pan was my biggest mistake for years, until I learned that spacing is what creates those coveted charred edges
03 -
  • Dry the beans thoroughly after washing if you buy them pre-washed, because water creates steam instead of roast
  • Let the pan cool slightly before removing the parchment, or the steam will make the beans soggy on bottom
