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.
- 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.
- Season: Toss green beans in oil and seasonings and spread them in a single layer.
- 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.
