How to make easy oven-roasted green beans?
- Preheat your oven to 210°C (fan-assisted if possible, otherwise static oven works too!) 🔥.
- Prepare the green beans: trim them, rinse them in cold water, and dry them well in a cloth. The drier they are, the crispier they will be!
- Season in a large bowl: olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, paprika, curry, or even a little parmesan depending on your mood. Let yourself be guided by your desires of the day 🥄.
- Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, flat, without crowding them — this is the key to even browning.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring halfway through. The green beans should be lightly browned and still tender.
- Finishing : Add a lemon zest, a little fleur de sel or grated cheese just before serving for that little extra twist 🧀🍋.
FAQ — Green Beans Oven Time
Should green beans be blanched before baking?
Not mandatory! If your beans are young and thin, you can roast them directly. For larger or older beans, blanch them for two minutes in boiling water then dry them well. This prevents them from becoming fibrous 😉.
Can you cook frozen green beans in the oven?
Yes, no problem! Spread them out while still frozen on the baking sheet, oil generously, season, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer. Amazing results even without defrosting 🥶.
Which oil should I use for roasting green beans?
Olive oil remains the star for taste and health 🥗. You can vary with sunflower or grapeseed oil if you want a more neutral flavor.
How to prevent beans from drying out?
Don't skimp on the oil (but don't drown it!), mix them well before cooking, and keep an eye on them for the last few minutes to stop as soon as they are golden but still tender. A squeeze of lemon when they come out and presto, it's perfect!
Any ideas for original seasonings?
Try roasted garlic, smoked paprika, curry, parmesan, lemon zest, or even some sesame seeds to spice things up! You can also add yellow beans or walnuts for a crunchy touch 😍.
Ideas for varying, succeeding & recycling your green beans
- Add chickpeas, potatoes, or cherry tomatoes to the baking sheet for a complete skillet in one oven! 🍅🥔
- Sprinkle with parmesan, breadcrumbs or pumpkin seeds at the end of cooking for a crunchy touch 🤩.
- Recycle leftovers into a homemade green bean salad (cold or warm, delicious!).
- For a summery touch, mix green and yellow beans, a rainbow on the plate 🌈.
- Try the sweet chili, candied garlic or lime version for a change of mood 🌶️.
