These tasty oven-baked garlic green beans are incredibly simple to prepare and are a great side to serve up with any main entree.  Best of all it’s only 5 ingredients and takes less than 15 minutes to cook.

This is probably one of the more popular side dishes that we make because they’re just so easy to make.  Some other veggie sides we love are Oven Roasted Potatoes and Cauliflower Au Gratin.

Oven-Baked Green Beans

These oven-baked garlic green beans will work with beef, chicken, pork or fish and would go great chilled and cut up for a chopped salad the next day if you’d like.  You could also choose not to bake them and simply boil them, grill them or sauté them and simply finish with garlic and lemon.  This is a very versatile side dish and has a lot of lee-way.

How to Clean and Prepare Garlic Green Beans

The simple way to prepare them is either by picking off the ends of the green beans or lining them up, stems on the side and cutting them off.  I talk about how to do this and show it on video in my Ham and Green Beans Stew recipe.  Once the ends are trimmed off you could also cut them in half for easier eating and also be sure to give them a quick rinse under cold water to wash off any dirt.

Do You Need to Blanch Them Before Oven Roasting

You do not need to precook these before roasting in the oven.  They will completely cook through when baking and blanching them in boiling water will just make this easy process difficult and not worth the time to do so.

How to Make Them

Follow these very simple instructions on how to cook them:

  1. Toss the trimmed beans with garlic, olive oil and salt in a large bowl until coated.
  2. Spread out on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes.
  3. Add some lemon zest and serve.  Simple as that.

Recipe Chef Notes + Tips

How to Reheat: Place on a sheet tray covered with foil or in a pan with a lid and bake at 350° for 4-6 minutes or until hot.  You can also simply heat in the microwave.

How to Store: Keep the garlic green beans covered and pace in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.  You may also freeze them covered for up to 2 months.  Thaw before reheating.

Remember that green beans shrink up quite a bit when cooking so account for loss when feeding 4 or more people.

For a little more flavor you can also squeeze in a little lemon juice when tossing the beans with the garlic and olive oil.
