Use this simple recipe for roasting green beans in the oven until tender and delicious. It’s a delicious and healthy side dish that pairs well with a variety of main dish recipes, especially my favorite Smothered Chicken. 

Ingredients

  • 1 lbfresh green beans, trimmed (or a 12-ounce bag of pre-trimmed green beans)
  • 2 teaspoonsolive oil or avocado oil
  • ¼ teaspoonfine salt
  • black pepper
  • optional toppings – chopped bacon, toasted almonds, parmesan cheese, or squeeze of lemon juice

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F.

  2. 2

    Place the green beans on a large rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with oil and add the salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer on the pan. (TIP: Use parchment paper on the sheet pan for easy cleanup, but it’s not necessary. The green beans will get slightly more caramelized if you don’t.)

  3. 3

    Roast until the green beans are tender, 10-12 minutes. Cook 1-2 minutes if you like them a little crispy and browned.

  4. 4

    Transfer green beans to a serving bowl. If desired, top with optional toppings.
