Preheat oven to 400F. Place green beans, garlic, olive oil, pepper flakes and lemon juice on a baking sheet and toss well.  Season with salt & pepper and roast in the oven for 10 minutes.  Toss green beans and continue to cook another 10 minutes.

If you have leftovers, cut up the beans & toss with a tablespoon of red wine vinegar. They’re exceptional that way!
