- green beans: Fresh green beans are the best to use for this recipe. However, frozen green beans do work. I freeze fresh green beans throughout the summer, instructions are in the recipe card below.
- olive oil: Use your favorite olive oil. You can use any of your favorite oils such as avocado oil, and coconut oil. A little olive oil goes a long way with flavor.

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F/218°C.
Step 2: Place the beans in a single layer on a large baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
