Vegan Simple Roasted Green Beans
Roasting green beans at high heat is one of those simple techniques that completely transforms a humble vegetable into something you'll want to eat straight off the pan. A hot 425°F oven coaxes out a natural sweetness while crisping up the tips into slightly shriveled, caramelized little bites that are genuinely hard to stop eating. The whole dish comes together with just olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper — nothing hidden, nothing processed, just clean plant-based ingredients doing exactly what they should. Spreading the beans in a single layer is the key move here, since crowding the pan traps steam and robs you of that gorgeous browning. A finishing squeeze of lemon juice is optional but adds a bright pop that makes the whole thing feel a little more special. This makes a generous side for four and pairs beautifully with just about any main you're already planning.
