These Roasted Green Beans are so simple and delicious with added sliced almonds. Add them to any meal as a limitless healthy side.
They a wonderful healthy side to fish like this pan seared salmon or simple baked chicken breasts and this mushroom risotto.
I have snapped my share of green beans in my life. It was a typical thing to do at my Grandparent’s 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.
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.
My son does like a few green veggies. My daughter? Well, we are working on her. Good news, she did like these roasted green beans so much better than just steamed or boiled.
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 makes them extra special.

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
Well, that was silly of me 🙂 It is 1/4 tsp of each. Less if you prefer, of course.

These look so good! I remember snapping beans from the garden as a kid…these days, though, I slice them with a knife by the handful, haha! Green beans are a favorite veggie!

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!
