- 2 pounds fresh green beans
- 6 cloves garlic minced or crushed
- to taste sea salt
- to taste crushed red pepper
- 1/3 cup butter cut into chunks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Start by trimming the ends of the green beans, then washing them and patting them dry.
- Mince or crush the garlic and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the cleaned green beans with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until they are all coated marvelously.
- Spread the green beans out in a single layer on a sheet pan.
- Pop them in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and shiny, with some brown spots from the pan.
- While those beans are roasting, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Let it cook for about four minutes, then add in the minced garlic.
- Keep on cooking until the butter turns golden brown and gives off a lovely nutty aroma - around 4-5 more minutes!
- Once the green beans are done roasting, toss them in that delicious browned garlic butter. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper and serve up warm.
- Enjoy this great side dish for any meal!
