Vegetable Side Dishes

I’ve said it before on this website and I’ll say it again, there are a lot of times where I’m more interested in eating the side dish than I am the main course. This often happens during Thanksgiving and the Holidays. There are so many tasty casserole and salad dishes that I just can’t get that excited about turkey or ham! So, we got a ton of great holiday side dishes on this site. Our Crockpot Corn Casserole is a new recipe that I’m super pumped about!

And, of course, no Holiday spread would be complete without some sort of Green Bean dish, right! We’ve shared this recipe for a Traditional Green Bean Casserole and it’s one of our most popular recipes during the holidays. Today, we’d like to share another Green Bean recipe: our Oven Roasted Green Beans.

What Can I Serve These Oven Roasted Green Beans With?

But, of course, it goes best with Traditional Holiday Meals like Ham and Turkey.

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 prepare 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 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 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- 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.
