Arrange the green beans in an even single layer. Roast 10 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
With tongs stir the green beans.
Arrange the beans in a even single layer again.
Return the baking sheet to the oven, and keep roasting until the beans are deeply golden brown in spots and have started to shrivel, about 11 minutes.
Season with more salt and freshly ground black pepper if needed.
Meanwhile add the olive oil, lemon juice, sun-dried tomatoes, black olives and oregano leaves in a medium bowl, mix until well combined.
In a large bowl, mix the roasted green beans with the olive-lemon mixture until well combined.
