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
- 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.
- Although fresh beans are best in my opinion, you can use frozen green beans.
- Lemon: Drizzle some lemon juice (or even lemon zest) on top before serving for added flavor.
- Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Spicy Kick: Sprinkle some red pepper flakes before roasting for a bit of heat.
- Add other veggies: Sliced onions like red onions or shallots, asparagus or broccoli would be great additions.
- Swap the almonds for chopped pecans or walnuts.
- Drizzle with a little balsamic glaze.
- 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.

Hi Sherri, Thanks for sharing at the party! Pinned for later. Hope to see you again this week. Have a great weekend.

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!
