Roasted Green Beans are a great alternative to regular green beans or green bean casserole for holidays! They reheat very nicely so they can be made in advance if necessary.
A great side dish but my friends also love these as a snack or hors d’oeuvre. No matter how many I make, it’s never enough!

Roasted Green Beans
Fresh or canned green beans are coated with olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper and then roasted until lighted browned! Simple but delicious.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs green beans
- 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil or just enough to lightly coat beans
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste, may substitute with Mrs. Dash if desired
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper or to taste, omit if using Mrs. Dash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Wash, dry well, and trim green beans.
- Put green beans on a jelly roll pan. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste (I like them salty so I use about 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt and about 8-10 grinds of the pepper mill). *Mrs. Dash may be substituted for salt and pepper as desired.
- Use your hands to be sure all the beans are evenly coated and spread them out into 1 layer.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning after 15 minutes, until beans are fairly brown in spots and somewhat shriveled.
Recipe Notes
Serve hot or at room temperature.
