- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic powder on top.
- Mix with hands or spatula to evenly coat the green beans.

Notes
- If you like green beans to have a little crunch to them, reduce the roasting time to 9-10 minutes each time.

- Roasted green beans can be stored for up to 4 days in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
