I honestly can’t believe I haven’t posted about these green beans. They appear in our home almost weekly regardless of the season. They sit along nicely next to some grilled chicken in the summer or just as nicely next to some warm and comforting crockpot chicken in the winter, like we enjoyed last night.
I guess I haven’t posted about these because to me they are, well, boring. And I mean that in the best possible way. They are boring because they are painfully EASY, come out perfect every single time, and I know M will gobble them up. (Something he often refuses to do when the color green is involved). These aren’t a challenge, these are something you can throw together in an instant and literally cook in your sleep. The search for your perfect go to side is officially over.
If you are a green bean fan, or even if you aren’t, I suggest stocking up on the few basic ingredients to keep these on rotation in your home. I promise they’ll go down easy!
- Preheat your oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil (easy clean up).
- a handful of green beans for every person you want to serve. (2 people would be 2 handfuls).
- fresh cloves of garlic, one for every handful
- sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- olive oil
- Preheat your oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil (easy clean up).
- Grab a handful of green beans for every person you want to serve. (2 people would be 2 handfuls). Slice up some fresh cloves of garlic, one for every handful. Sprinkle with some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle olive oil all along the top. Toss together with your hands.
- Roast for 15 - 18 minutes, until the green beans have a nice roasted color and the garlic is extremely fragrant.
Done!

Ah thank you Kelly…I hope both you and Chris enjoy!
These are so good that I insist on eating them by hand…like french fries
I love these, have made them so often since you showed me last summer, but I always forget the time or temperature of the oven, so glad you posted no more calling you with questions on these! And I totally agree with you, the best side to go with fancy or simple.
