Notes

  1. Storage: Store leftover roasted green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispiness.
  2. Variations: Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or grated Parmesan cheese for a savory twist.
  3. Serving Suggestions: Pair with grilled chicken, roasted salmon, or a quinoa bowl for a complete meal.
  4. Avoid Overcrowding: Ensure the green beans are in a single layer on the baking sheet to prevent steaming and achieve maximum crispiness.
