Caramelized Roasted Green Beans

Collect all the necessary ingredients before commencing with the cooking process. Preheat your oven to a high temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius), ensuring it reaches the desired heat level.

Next, thoroughly rinse a batch of green beans under cold running water to remove any impurities. Subsequently, gently pat the beans dry with paper towels, removing excess moisture. Arrange the green beans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet, allowing them to spread out evenly.

Now, drizzle the green beans with a generous amount of olive oil, taking care to coat them evenly. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the beans, distributing the seasonings uniformly. Using your hands, engage in a gentle tossing motion to ensure each bean is well-coated with oil. Finally, spread the beans out in a single layer, allowing them to cook uniformly.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast until the green beans are cooked to perfection, exhibiting a tender yet crisp texture. They should display signs of slight shrinkage and exhibit golden-brown, caramelized spots on their surfaces. This cooking time can vary between 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the specific beans and desired level of doneness.
