    These oven roasted green beans are an easy, deliciously crispy side dish loaded with caramelized flavor.  I love to make this recipe for any occasion or holiday dinners.

    Serve this easy side dish with pan seared salmon or simple baked chicken breasts and this mushroom risotto.

    Easy Oven Roasted Green Beans

    Roasted veggies are a go-to family favorite side dish for us.  Baking them in the oven really enhances the flavors so much and it’s an easy way to make a large batch too.

    This roastedgreen beans recipe with almonds are always a big hit whenever I make them.  I use simple ingredients of olive oil, salt and pepper with sliced almonds added for a wonderful crunch. Be sure check out the variations below for some other fun ideas.

    These other roasted vegetables recipes are a must try too.

    • Roasted Potatoes
    • Roasted Broccoli

    • Baked Asparagus

    Ingredients Need for this Side Dish

    Below is a list of the ingredients you’ll need to gather to make roasted beans. Scroll down to the full recipe card with amounts.

    Green Beans – Fresh green beans work the best in my opinion but I have used frozen full green beans as well!  

    Olive Oil – Use coconut oil, avocado oil or even butter if you’d like.

    Raw sliced almonds – gives it such a nice added crunch.

    Salt and Pepper – the perfect light seasoning.

    Variations and Substitutions

    1. Add minced garlic or sliced garlic before roasting for an extra flavor boost. 2-3 cloves would be perfect. You can also sprinkle with garlic powder.
    2. Although fresh beans are best in my opinion, you can use frozen green beans.
    3. Lemon: Drizzle some lemon juice (or even lemon zest) on top before serving for added flavor.
    4. Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
    5. Spicy Kick: Sprinkle some red pepper flakes before roasting for a bit of heat.
    6. Add other veggies:  Sliced onions like red onions or shallots, asparagus or broccoli would be great additions. 
    7. Swap the almonds for chopped pecans or walnuts.
    8. Drizzle with a little balsamic glaze.
    9. Use other favorite herbs like rosemary or thyme.

    How to Roast Green Beans

    Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Step 2: Trim the ends off of the green beans. You can leave them on too if you’d like. 

    Step 3: Place green beans in a large bowl and add the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to blend well.

    Step 4: Arrange the green beans on the large baking sheet in an even layer.

    Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the beans are tender, stirring once halfway.

    Step 6: Sprinkle with sliced almonds the last 5 minutes of baking.

    Tips

    • Make sure the green beans are in a single layer on the baking sheet to make sure they cook evenly.
    • Toss the green beans halfway through baking.
    • You may want to double the recipe for large crowds.

    How to Store Leftovers

    Refrigeration: Store any leftover green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

    Freezing: Freeze green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet first so they don’t stick together.  Then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months.

    Reheating Tips: Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes or until heated through. You can reheat them in a skillet over medium heat or on a microwave safe plate for one minute.

    Recipe FAQs

    How do I know when the green beans are done?

    They should be tender yet crisp and lightly browned on the edges.

    Can I make this recipe a day ahead?

    Yes, you can trim and season the green beans ahead of time, then roast them just before serving.

      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?

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

      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!
