Cooking Tips

Select Fresh Green Beans: Choose fresh green beans that are bright green, firm, and free from blemishes. Trim the ends and remove any tough or stringy parts.
Toss with Oil and Spices: Toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil and the spice blend until evenly coated. This ensures that the spices adhere to the green beans and they roast evenly.
Single Layer: Spread the seasoned green beans out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Crowding the pan can lead to uneven cooking and steaming rather than roasting.
Serve Hot: Serve the spicy roasted green beans immediately while they are still hot and crispy for the best flavor and texture.
