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.

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.
