These Roasted Green Beans are so simple and delicious with added sliced almonds. Add them to any meal as a limitless healthy side.
I have snapped my share of green beans in my life. It was a typical thing to do at my Grandparents house before any family meal. Come to think of it, my own children have never snapped a bean in their lives. Hmmm, I must do something about this.
Roasted Green Beans
I sometimes think I am failing at carrying on my Southern traditions with my kids (even though I know that other areas snap beans too). My kids don’t like collard greens or turnip greens, which I was eating by the bowlful by age 5.
I’m pretty sure I had no choice to eat several foods growing up or I would have starved! But I do get a little kick out of the reactions when I serve these certain somethings to my family.
My son, at least, loves green beans. My daughter? Well, we are working on her. I will keep trying different variations. She did like these roasted green beans SO much better than just steamed or boiled. Yay!
So, if you happen to have a child like me that challenges you with their “green” eating, give these a try and they may be surprised.
There is something about the flavor that roasting gives them. Plus the added almonds make them extra special.

These look delicious! I haven’t bought fresh green beans in quite a while, and haven’t had a garden in a while too, but this year I have a small garden and I even found a place to plant a package of green beans, hoping to can some this year but I will definitely have to try these. They look so good.
I remember helping my parents snap green beans when I was little, but I don’t think my girls have ever snapped any either. Thanks for sharing! Pinning!

Catherine says
I’m confused. Is it supposed to be 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and a 1/4 teaspoon of salt? Or is it 1/2 teaspoon of pepper?
Sherri says
Well, that was silly of me 🙂 It is 1/4 tsp of each. Less if you prefer, of course.
