Roasted Green Beans
If you’ve never tried garlic roasted green beans, I’m pretty sure you’re going to love them. You only need five ingredients and two of them are salt and pepper!
The green beans are roasted with olive oil and garlic which turns golden and caramelized giving the whole dish so much flavor. It also smells pretty amazing while it’s cooking!
This dish is easy to prep in about ten minutes and it’s one of my favorite easy side dishes to make all year long or for the holidays. If you’ve never roasted green beans or added tons of garlic – you MUST try them. I know you’ll love it!
Ingredients Needed
- Green Beans: be sure to trim the ends, or buy one of those bags of green beans that’s already trimmed. I also love the small haricot vert that you get at the grocery store – they’re smaller and thinner so they cook quicker but my family loves them – especially the kids.
- Garlic – While I love garlic paste, be sure to buy fresh garlic and press it yourself for this recipe.
How to make Garlic Green Beans
- Peel your garlic. I like to use my garlic press to prep the garlic. It’s easier and faster to press garlic than to mince it with a knife. Sprinkle the pressed garlic over the top along with some olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Spread the green beans into an even layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast them for about 20 to 25 minutes or until they’re tender in a 400°F oven.

The garlic burns. Add it in the last couple of minutes?
Delicious! Made it as a trial run for Thanksgiving and it definitely made the cut!
Can I use minced garlic??
Yes
20-30 minutes was too long. I took them out after 15 minutes and the garlic was already VERY brown. I think adding the garlic after 10 minutes would have been better. Once it goes from golden brown to dark brown, it gets bitter.
this is an easy side for your dinner.
