Roasted Green Beans Recipe | Easy Low Carb Snack or Side
My daughter and I have been noshing on Roasted Green Beans a lot lately. It is an incredibly easy recipe to prepare & makes for a great nutritious and low carb snack or side. A few edges will crisp, but mostly the green beans are chewier and more flavorful from the roasting.
How to Make Roasted Green Beans
Though we have been enjoying these for awhile now, I hadn’t really thought to share them until I recently streamlined the process. For ease & off-season freshness, I use frozen steamer bags of green beans for this recipe.
Since these are made with frozen petite green beans, I no longer use a bowl to dress them for roasting. I just snip the corner of a steamer bag, add my oil and balsamic, then fold over the cut edge securely and give it a good shake. The green beans are then put on a baking sheet for roasting (see specifics below). Easy & no mess!
