Garlic Roasted Green Beans

Need a quick side dish? Sometimes the simplest sides are sensational with a little added seasoning. Try these Garlic Roasted Green Beans at your next family gathering.

Green beans are one of my favorite veggies. They’re simple, I know, but there’s something about them that I just really enjoy. Maybe they remind me of summer harvest. Maybe it’s the green which is so springy. Or maybe it’s just the childhood memory of helping my mom snap the ends off.

Whatever it is, roasting them brings out a lovely flavor. These garlic roasted green beans are smeared with butter, fresh garlic, salt, and a touch of brown sugar. Fancy enough for a holiday side, but simple and easy enough for a week night meal.

Growing up, we snapped the ends of the beans. I’m not sure why, I suppose you don’t eat the stems. And if they have a yucky end, well then of course you cut that off. But as ‘grown up’, if you can call me that, one day as I was prepping beans, I sort of just asked myself… why do I take all the extra time to do this? I mean, it is a bit tedious. I thought… ain’t nobody got time for this!

Excuse my slang. But really, can’t the kids just not eat that part? Wouldn’t that just save time if they could just not eat their stem? No more snipping bean ends for me! It’s the little things, I tell ya.

If you’ve steamed or boiled your beans in the past, I would encourage you to try roasting them. It’s just a bit different flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans (ends snipped, if you care)
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, pressed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbs brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Wash the beans and toss them in a large bowl.
  2. Add the garlic and brown sugar to the melted butter, pour it over the beans and toss to combine.
  3. Lay the beans out on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  4. Roast at 400 for 10-15 minutes, tossing half way through.

Notes:

I like my beans crisp tender. They should be bright green in color and easily bitten into. The longer you cook them, the softer they will be. They’re delicious with a little charring on them as well, if you prefer your food well done. Timing may vary depending on your preferences.

Garlic Roasted Green beans are a quick and easy way to spruce up a side dish. I hope you enjoy it!

    Ah, now this is my kind of recipe! I often roast broccoli and carrots in the oven like this, but haven’t tried green beans, and I like the idea of adding a touch of brown sugar. I bet they’re good cold the next day too, like in a salad! Thanks, and I’m pinning one of these lovely photos too!
