Preheat oven to 425º F. Wash and trim the ends of the green beans. Pat the green beans dry with paper towels and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet.
Drizzle the green beans with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Roast until the green beans have a few golden spots and are crisp tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
Tips:
Use fresh, snappy green beans. Start with fresh, firm, and crisp green beans. They should snap easily.
Pat Dry. Make sure to dry them before adding oil and roasting. Water can cause soggy spots instead of staying crisp when cooked.
Don't overcrowd or overcook. If you need to make more than will spread out on one pan, split the beans into two pans. Just roast them until they get a few caramelized spots, and don't roast them too long.
Storage Tip:Allow the roasted green beans to cool, cover them well with wrap, or place them in an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
