Best Way To Prepare Green Beans
As we all know, the most time consuming part of making a dish with Green Beans is preparing them to cook. One end of the Green Bean has a rough tip on it, where it had grown from the plant. The easiest way that I have found to trim green beans is to rinse them all out together in a strainer under cold water. Once you are done with that, lay as many as you can side-by-side on a cutting board. Make sure they are situated so that all the rough ends are on the same side. Get a long, sharp knife and cut the tips off!
Make sure you completely dry your Green Beans before tossing them in oil and cooking them. I like to get a clean, dry kitchen towel and put them in that!
Notes, Tips and Variations
- TOMATOES – After my Oven Roasted Green Beans were done, I added some fresh, sliced Cherry Tomatoes to the dish. This gives it some color and freshness, you don’t need to do this. Or, you could even try putting the tomatoes in the oven and roasting them with the Green Beans!
- ALL OVENS VARY – My Green Beans were done right at 18 minutes. You want to take them out just when your cheese is starting to turn golden brown on top. Don’t keep them in too long and burn your garlic!
- DOUBLE THIS RECIPE- If you are serving a larger crowd, this recipe is super easy to double. But you may need to use two baking sheets.
- BROIL AT THE END FOR CHARRED GREEN BEANS – I did broil my Oven Roasted Green Beans on the low setting for the final minute of baking. This gave them an extra crispiness. But you don’t have to do that.
