Roasted Green Beans

Roasted green beans with perfectly caramelized edges make for a delicious, healthy, and easy side dish! I like to dress them up with freshly toasted almonds for a nice crunch, but feel free to keep things simple and skip this step if you’d like.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Get ready. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • Roast the green beans. In a medium bowl, toss the green beans with enough olive oil to coat (2 to 3 tablespoons) and a big pinch of salt and pepper (1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon). Spread onto a large sheet pan so they’re all in one layer. Roast without moving until the edges are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, toast the almonds (optional). If you’d like to add a little garnish, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a small pan over medium. Add the almond and toast, tossing until just golden brown, about 5 minutes. As soon as they’re done, pour onto to a plate to avoid burning.
  • Serve. Transfer the green beans to a serving platter and top with the toasted almonds (if using). Serve warm.

Notes

  • Shop this recipe: Visit our shop to browse quality Mediterranean ingredients, including the olive oil used in this recipe.
  • Roast the green beans directly on the sheet pan (not parchment paper). This will get you a better char. And make sure to spread them so that all the beans are touching the hot surface.
  • Remove the almonds from heat when they’re just fragrant and lightly golden. They turn bitter when you over toast them, and they will continue browning as they cool.
