Roasting is the argument-ender for green beans: high heat blisters them in olive oil and sea salt until the tips char and the insides sweeten, and a squeeze of lemon plus cracked pepper finishes the job. Four servings, 30 minutes, five ingredients — and beans that get eaten off the sheet pan before they reach the table.

Ingredients

1	pound fresh green beans, trimmed
¹⁄₄	cup extra-virgin olive oil
•	sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
•	black pepper
¹⁄₂	large lemon, juiced

Instructions

1.	Begin by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2.	In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly coat the fresh green beans with the extra-virgin olive oil.
3.	Spread the beans evenly on a rimmed baking sheet or in a roasting pan. Sprinkle a generous amount of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the beans.
4.	Roast the beans in the oven until they are beautifully shriveled and browned, usually around 20 minutes.
5.	Once roasted, remove the beans from the oven, gather them into a pile, and drizzle the freshly squeezed juice of a large lemon over the top. Give it a good toss and serve immediately.
