How to Make Roasted Green Beans

The Ingredients

  • Green Beans. Green beans and their French cousin, the thinner haricots verts, both work well in this recipe. Haricots verts will cook more quickly, so keep an eye on them.
  • Almonds. Toasted almonds add a wonderful nuttiness and crunch.
  • Parmesan. Because a finishing shower of freshly grated Parmesan cheese is never wrong!

The Directions

  1. Prep. Add the green beans to a baking sheet, then toss with oil and seasonings. Spread into a single layer.
  2. Cook. Roast green beans at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Shake the pan, then roast for another 5 to 7 minutes.

Recipe Variations

  • Add Nuts. Roasted green beans with almonds are our favorite, but you can add toasted pine nuts, walnuts, or even pecans to your roasted green beans.
  • Make Them Garlicky. If you’re a fan of Roasted Garlic, this is for you! Add 3 cloves chopped garlic to the pan with the green beans.
  • Perk Them Up Lemon. Roast with garlic (or season with garlic powder). Then toss with lemon juice and lemon zest after roasting.
  • Add Bacon. Top with crumbled Air Fryer Bacon or Baked Bacon.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

  • Use Kitchen Scissors. You can use a knife and cutting board, or for even faster trimming, use a pair of scissors. Cut off the stem end; the tail end can stay attached if you’d like to save time.
  • No Blanching Needed. Unlike when you’re adding green beans to Green Bean Casserole, it is not necessary to blanch green beans before roasting them in the oven.
  • Pat the Green Beans Dry. Wet green beans = soggy green beans. Transfer them from a colander to a clean kitchen towel and pat them dry before seasoning.
  • Don’t Crowd the Pan. Air needs room to circulate or the green beans will steam instead of roast.

Instructions
 

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place the green beans in the center of a large, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt, and pepper and toss to coat evenly. Spread the green beans into a single layer. It's OK if the sides touch, but make sure none of them are stacked on top of each other (if they do not all fit in a single layer, divide them between two baking sheets and bake on the upper- and lower-third over racks). I find if I put my mind to it, I can get 1 pound on an 11×17-inch baker's half sheet.
  • Roast the green beans for 15 without disturbing them, then likely shake the pan to turn them a little bit and expose the browning undersides. Return to the oven and continue roasting for 5 to 7 minutes more, until they are crisp-tender when pierced with a fork and have dark spots.
  • If using almonds, while the green beans roast, toast them in a small, dry saucepan over low heat, stirring often, until they are lightly golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Once they are toasted to your liking, immediately remove to a plate or bowl to stop their cooking.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan and toasted almonds over the green beans. Enjoy immediately, with additional salt and pepper to taste.

  3. I don’t really like green beans, but had a ton of them from our weekly veggie box.. This recipe is AMAZING! Wish I had more green beans to roast! Tossed them with some steak seasoning, they were wonderful!5 stars

  4. Who knew you could make a healthier alternative to french fries out of green beans???? My kids love these and they are so easy to make.5 stars

  5. Our family loves steamed green beans and lots of different roasted veggies. I never thought to roast green beans! They turned out super delicious and I tried the idea of serving them with a squeeze of lemon juice. What a yum! Will definitely be making these again!5 stars

  6. These green beans were awesome! I set my timer for 15 min and they came out bright green with a little char. They looked so great paired with my pork chops and mashed potatoes. Also added some garlic powder. So yummy!5 stars

  7. Just made these last night – they are DELISH! For the toppings I used red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan and a bit of chopped garlic. I’ve never had success with roasted green beans. They’re usually mushy or turn into charred strips. I’m glad to see your recipe and give it a try.5 stars
