OVEN ROASTED GREEN BEANS
My husband is a pretty good eater when it comes to veggies, but he’s no fan of green beans. That is, until I made them using this recipe.
So many people don’t like green beans. My theory is that they were fed canned green beans or overcooked frozen green beans when they were a kid and it ruined them for life.
When you take fresh green beans, like I do in this recipe, and roast them to perfection with a few simple ingredients, the result is tender, chewy, flavorful green beans. So good.
This oven roasted green bean recipe is fantastic for any kind of weeknight dinner but also for holiday dinners like Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Ingredients needed for this recipe:
- fresh green beans
- olive oil
- lemon juice

I’m looking forward to trying these, thinking ahead to Thanksgiving! Have you tried them with frozen (thawed) green beans?
I don’t like to roast frozen thawed vegetables (green beans, broccoli, etc) because I find they are too wet. Fresh green beans are usually nice and dry so they roast and crisp up nicely. If you try it, will you let me know? -Krissy
Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables! I am so excited to add this to my rotation menu for Thanksgiving!
We love roasted green beans but the addition of the parmesan was amazing!
I am really excited now because I think I’ve found my new favorite way of making green beans – they look absolutely amazing! 🙂
Simple and easy and quick and crunchy and yummy too. Best option for a simple and comfort meal. Veggies are always good in this form.
This is an easy and delicious green beans dish. Not sure how this can feed 6 because me and hubby finish it in one sitting. 😀
