How to Make Roasted Green Beans

It doesn’t get much easier than roasted veggies! Here’s what we do:

  1. Wash, dry, and trim the green beans
  2. Toss with oil and salt
  3. Then add to a parchment-lined baking sheet (for easy clean up) and bake!

After baking for about 15 minutes in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 Celsius), they become perfectly fork tender and lightly browned on the edges — a.k.a. green bean perfection!

You can keep the green beans simple (we couldn’t stop eating them straight from the pan as is), or make them a little fancy by garnishing with lemon zest and slivered almonds or sesame seeds.
