Roasted green beans in the oven are an easy side I turn to again and again.
I love that they work just as well with my Wednesday night chicken and Friday night steak dinner, as they do on my Thanksgiving table. (I especially love that this makes a great side with hearty dishes like baked spaghetti.)
It's a no-fuss, sheet pan recipe that is a welcome addition to any meal.
Ingredients
- Green Beans: Fresh green beans give a crisp-tender texture that's perfect for roasting.
- Avocado Oil: I prefer avocado oil for its high smoke point. You could use olive oil, but I don’t recommend extra virgin olive oil.
- Sugar: Just a hint to provide balance. Feel free to omit if you are sugar-free.
- Sea Salt: Kosher salt works as well
- Black Pepper: Fresh ground is nice if you have it.
- Parmesan Cheese: Use a rennet free parmesan to keep this recipe vegetarian.
- Lemon Juice: For a more pronounced lemon flavor, you could add in the lemon zest with the seasonings.
- Chopped Walnuts: Almonds would be a good variation.
Tips and Tricks
- Single Layer: Make sure you give your green beans enough room so that they roast evenly and don't steam.
- Cover and Uncover: Start by covering the beans with foil for the first 10 minutes to lock in moisture, then uncover to get that beautiful, roasted finish.
- Check for Doneness: Roast until the beans are slightly tender but still have a slight snap to them—usually about 20 minutes total.
- Leftovers: Reheat leftovers in the microwave or air fryer. They will stay fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. I love to use them in bowls, or even on a salad.
