Green Beans in the Oven

Roasted green beans, like those served in top restaurants, go from oven to table in just 15 minutes. 

The secret to roasting green beans in the oven combines high temperature (or 350°, see Tips)  with fresh beans, sea salt, and just enough oil.

Green Beans in the Oven: Tips for Success

• You’ll need a good pan, or your roasted vegetables will scorch. I like this American made, heirloom quality pan (view here). 
• Bacon fat makes a tasty substitute for olive oil. 
• You can eliminate the fat entirely by adding enough water to the pan to coat the bottom. With this method, add hot water every 5 minutes, as needed, to prevent drying out. 
• Were you looking to cook green beans in a 350 degree oven, to coordinate with baking casseroles or meat?  The infographic, below, shows you how.
