Who doesn't love green beans?
I have to say that I am one of those people who doesn't like green beans. It took me a long time to acquire a taste for it.
Even today, I find ways of not eating them! I am sure if I had a pet dog, I would feed it my green beans from my plate.
But, once in a while, I find myself finding creative ways of cooking them and they turn out so delicious. In fact, they turn out so good that even I couldn't resist devouring them.

Oven Roasted Green Beans Quick Tips
- Using fresh green beans is always better than using frozen ones. Oven roasted fresh green beans are always crispier than frozen green beans
- Use a large baking tray and spread out the green beans. Larger baking surface makes the green beans cook evenly and quickly. I make sure that they are side-by-side instead of being in a pile.
- Keep the oven temperature lower. I find that 400° is the perfect for roasting green beans. They may cook slower, but, it brings out the best in them.
- Stir them after about 12 minutes of roasting. Maybe that's just my OCD talking, but, I like to see them roasted evenly on all side.
