Small Things That Help

• Choose beans of similar thickness so they finish together.
• If your oven is crowded, use two trays rather than piling the beans onto one.
• Taste one before you take the tray out; it should be tender with a little chew, not squeaky.

Changing the Recipe

• An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the usual stand-in when you are out of fresh garlic — it will not caramelise the same way, but it carries the flavour.
