These roasted green beans are fresh green beans coated in butter, garlic, olive oil and herbs, then cooked at high heat until tender and browned. A super easy side dish recipe, it's the absolute best way to enjoy green beans!
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
Arrange the green beans in a single layer on the sheet pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
Drizzle the butter mixture over the green beans and toss to coat evenly.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until green beans are tender and lightly browned.
Sprinkle with parsley, then serve, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.

Notes
Choose the freshest green beans you can find for maximum flavor. You want firm green beans that are not slimy.
I try to buy green beans that are the same size and shape so that they'll roast evenly.
I like to garnish my roasted green beans with lemon wedges so that people can squeeze a little lemon juice over their green beans for added flavor.
I use a combination of butter and olive oil because I like the flavor of the butter, but olive oil stands up to high roasting temperatures better. If you prefer, you can also just use olive oil.
