Ingredients

- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil Extra-virgin

Notes
- Trimming the green beans — To save time, you can purchase pre-trimmed green beans. However, if you prefer to trim them yourself, simply snap off the stem end of each bean. This step ensures that the green beans cook evenly and have a pleasant texture.
- Roasting time — Keep a close eye on the green beans while they are roasting. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the beans and your desired level of caramelization. Adjust the roasting time accordingly to achieve the perfect balance of tenderness and caramelization.
- Customize the glaze — Feel free to experiment with the balsamic glaze by adding additional herbs or spices. A sprinkle of dried thyme or a pinch of red pepper flakes can add a delightful twist to the flavor profile.
