Toss fresh green beans in a bowl with just enough olive oil to give them just a sheen.

Place oiled beans on a cookie sheet in a single layer.

Sprinkle beans with salt & pepper.

Roast in a 425 oven for 25-35 min, or until beans start to wither and turn a bit brown.

Serve.

Note: This same technique can be used for any veggie-I love broccoli this way. Just make sure the pieces are somewhat uniform in size so that they will cook in the same amount of time.
