Simple Roasted Green Beans

These Simple Roasted Green Beans are a really quick side dish that will add nutrition to any meal!

If you like your veggies really crisp and not soggy these simple roasted green beans are for you!

I hate soggy vegetables and always have.  My mom and grandma never made soggy veggies either, so it’s just in my blood.  That’s why I love these so much because they are ultra crisp, quick, easy and add a boost of nutrition to round out any meal.  They always go great with old fashioned meatloaf and mashed potatoes with mushroom gravy! 🙂

It’s best if most of the green beans can be in a single layer on the pan to ensure they stay crisp.  I tossed these in olive oil and gave them a sprinkle of salt and pepper.  Something else that I do sometimes is add in a little minced garlic towards the end of cooking, yum!  When I cook the this way I serve them with an Italian dish, but they would go great with any meal.

So, if you are in need of a really quick and healthy side dish these green beans will save the day!!
