Roasted green beans come out tasty and tender.

Green beans are lightly seasoned and oven-roasted to crisp perfection for a simple side dish.

Ingredients for Roasting Green Beans

Oven roasted green beans are a simple side dish for any meal.

Green Beans – Choose fresh green beans, rinse and trim. Fresh are best for texture and taste but you can also roast frozen green beans – the cooking time will remain the same.

Seasonings – Garlic powder adds a little savory flavor to roasted green beans – feel free to add your own seasonings or fresh herbs. Replace oil with melted bacon grease for extra flavor.

Variations

• Add a little bit of lemon zest to the beans before cooking or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
• Once cooked, sprinkle with parmesan cheese or bacon bits.
• Chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts are great with green beans.

How to Roast Green Beans

Oven-roasted green beans come out tender-crisp and delicious.

1. Prep: Rinse and pat dry. Trim with a pair of kitchen scissors or line them up on a cutting board and cut off the ends.
2. Season: Toss green beans in oil and seasonings and spread them in a single layer.
3. Roast: Bake until tender-crisp – broil for a little bit of color.

Storing Leftovers

Keep leftover green beans in a covered container for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the microwave or a skillet. Leftovers are also great served chilled in a salad.
