Ingredients To Make Roasted Green Beans

• Green beans — I generally buy around 2 pounds of bulk fresh green beans. You’ll need to rinse them well and remove ends, but to save time you can buy pre-washed/cut beans.
• Oil — Extra virgin olive oil is my go-to for roasting veggies, though avocado oil also works nicely.
• Garlic — Chop up two fresh cloves or use a jar of minced garlic to save some time, if preferred. You can also use garlic powder.
• Spices — I like to keep things simple with Italian seasonings, kosher salt and black pepper. Feel free to experiment and use other spices if you want!

Instructions to Make Roasted Green Beans

Prep and season beans:

• Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (218°C).
• Rinse green beans and pat dry, then use a small sharp knife to remove ends. I recommend to trim green beans before roast them.
• Place beans in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, then add Italian seasonings, garlic and add a sprinkle a little bit of salt and black pepper.
• Stir and toss well so that all beans are evenly coated in oil and spices.

Transfer to baking sheet:

• Arrange beans in a single layer on a large baking sheet or baking pan, be sure not to pack your sheet too full and work in batches if necessary.

Roast and serve:

• Roast seasoned beans for approximately 8 minutes, until tender
• Remove roasted green beans from the oven, then transfer to a serving plate and enjoy!

How To Store Leftovers

To Store: Allow leftovers to cool and place them in an airtight container, then put them in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To Freeze: Transfer leftovers to a freezer bag or container and store frozen for up to 3 months.

How To Reheat: Reheat your roasted green beans in the oven, air-fryer, microwave, or a skillet on the stovetop!

What To Serve With Roasted Green Beans

Baked green beans are a delicious and nutritious solo snack. But more often than not, we think of them as a side for our main course. Serve them with:

• Your favorite casserole: Try my baked meatballs casserole or this cheesy spaghetti squash casserole with chicken. Eggplant lasagna is a great vegetarian option.
• A simple poultry dish! Roasted green beans go perfectly with my creamy parmesan chicken skillet or these ground turkey meatballs.
• Steak or seafood: Skillet garlic butter steak, Cajun shrimp skewers and panko crusted salmon all go great with beans.
• A pork main like garlic butter baked pork chops or roasted pork tenderloin!
• More delicious side dish! Round out your meal with other sides like fluffy rice, fluffy quinoa, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, broccoli salad, cherry tomatoes salad, dinner rolls with butter and crunchy garlic bread. All these vegetable side dishes are great and very easy to make.

Recipe Variations

Add different spices and herbs: get creative with the contents of your spice cabinet and use what you’ve got on hand!

Make them sweet! Add a drizzle of honey of maple syrup to your green beans before roasting.

Use another color of green beans: Sometimes you can find purple and yellow green beans at the store. Feel free to use any color your like, or mix and match!

Make them cheesy! Add some parmesan cheese or any other kind of cheese that you prefer. Also squeeze a little bit of lemon juice or lemon zest on top of it.

Go nuts! Add your favorite chopped nuts such as pine nuts, walnuts and pecans.
