"Because this recipe is easy to prepare, healthy and delicious, it has become the only way I make green beans," says Clara Saxe of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The versatile beans feature plenty of garlic and Italian seasoning and complement most any entree.

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds fresh green beans
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a 15x10x1-in. baking pan, toss green beans, oil, garlic and Italian seasoning until beans are well coated. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 12-15 minutes or until beans are crisp-tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
