1 pound fresh green beans, stem ends snapped off
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons drained capers, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic, 3 to 4 cloves
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill or use 1 teaspoon dried dill
Heat the oven to 425°F (220°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat — lining the pan is optional but helps with cleanup.
Toss the green beans with the oil, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
Add the seasoned beans to the baking sheet. Spread them out into one layer.
Roast until the green beans are tender and a little wrinkled, 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve or continue to the next step for the garlic herb green beans.
Add the garlic and capers to the roasted beans. Toss well, spread everything out into a single layer, and continue to roast for another 2 to 3 minutes so that the garlic cooks. Toss well, and then serve with the dill sprinkled over the top.
