Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans fresh, ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a low broil or 425 degrees Fahrenheit, especially if your oven lacks a specific broil setting. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect crispiness. While waiting for it to heat up, take a moment to line a baking sheet with foil to minimize cleanup later.
- In a large bowl, add the green beans. Pour the melted coconut oil over them, and sprinkle in the kosher salt and garlic powder. Take a moment to appreciate the colorful array of ingredients. Toss everything together until the beans are well coated. This ensures that all of them will be flavorful and crispy.
- Spread the seasoned green beans in an even layer on the baking sheet. It's essential to give them enough space, as overcrowding can lead to steaming rather than crisping. If your beans are plentiful, feel free to use two sheets to ensure they roast perfectly.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and broil the beans for about 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. You’ll want them to turn golden brown and crispy. Gently turn the beans halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp evenly on all sides.
- Once they reach that perfect crispy texture, carefully remove the sheet from the oven. Remember, the beans will continue to crisp up a little as they cool, so don’t be alarmed if they seem slightly soft at first.
- Allow the Crispy Green Beans to cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with a spicy dipping sauce for an extra kick!
