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.
