Oven Roasted Green Beans are a quick, healthy side dish featuring fresh green beans roasted to crispy perfection with simple seasonings. This easy, flavorful recipe enhances natural sweetness and is ideal for weeknight meals or festive holiday spreads. Easily customizable with garlic, lemon, or Parmesan.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 12 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • Lemon juice or grated Parmesan (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  4. Roast for 15–20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender with crisp, golden edges.
  5. Remove from oven and garnish with lemon juice or grated Parmesan, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, or toasted nuts for extra flavor.
  • Top with lemon zest or fresh herbs like parsley or thyme for a colorful finish.
  • Cool completely before refrigerating leftovers; reheat in the oven for best texture.
  • To freeze, spread cooled green beans on a tray, freeze, then transfer to a storage bag. Use in stir-fries or casseroles after thawing.
