These roasted green beans are the kind of side dish that disappears fast ā blistered, smoky, and just a little spicy if you want them to be. The trick is preheating the sheet pan so the beans hit a screaming-hot surface the moment they go in, which gives you those gorgeous charred edges instead of a soggy, steamed pile. Garlic-infused oil coats every bean in savory depth, while smoked paprika brings a rich, almost campfire-like warmth that makes this feel way more exciting than your average vegetable dish. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end cuts right through the heat and smoke, brightening everything up beautifully. Since the whole recipe is built around fresh produce, pantry spices, and a good oil, there are no hidden nut-based ingredients to worry about ā what you see on the list is exactly what goes in the pan. Scallion greens scattered on top add a pop of color and a mild oniony finish that pulls the whole plate together. This one is easy enough for a weeknight but impressive enough to bring to a dinner table.

Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450°F (230°C). Place a large sheet pan in the oven while it preheats ā a hot pan helps the beans blister rather than steam.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with the garlic-infused oil, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne, if using, until every bean is evenly coated.
