Wash the green beans and snap off the ends. Pat them dry and place the beans on a large baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic. Season with salt to taste. Use your hands to thoroughly mix all ingredients.
Even the beans out into a single layer. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes.
Stir the beans and return them to the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes longer, or until the beans are tender, slightly shriveled, and lightly browned. Watch them carefully so they do not burn.
Serve warm as desired.
Notes
If you do not have fresh garlic you may substitute garlic powder. Use 1/4 teaspoon or to taste.
