Roasted green beans can be a real revelation if you usually only prepare them steamed or cooked into a rich holiday casserole. Roasted green beans in an oven stay vividly green rather than losing their color, and roasting concentrates their subtle flavors.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re in a rut where green beans are concerned, give this recipe a try. (Seriously, you\u2019ll thank us later.) There are plenty of other great recipes for green beans<\/a> on this site, but roasted beans stand out for their simplicity, great flavor and versatility as a side dish.<\/p>\n Heat your oven to 425\u00b0F. In a large bowl, combine the green beans, shallots and garlic. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, sprinkle them with the salt and pepper, and toss them until they\u2019re well coated. Divide the beans between two 15×10-inch baking pans, coating with cooking spray.<\/p>\n Roast the vegetables for 15 to 20 minutes, until they\u2019re tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n Cover and refrigerate any leftover green beans after the meal.<\/p>\n You can if you need to, though their texture and color are at their best and brightest when they\u2019re freshly roasted. Make them up to a day ahead and reheat them in a low oven until they\u2019re heated through. Alternatively, prep the beans ahead of time but leave them in their bowl with the oil, shallots and garlic until it\u2019s almost mealtime. Your prep and cleanup will already be done, and you\u2019ll just need to invest 15 or 20 minutes to roast the beans.<\/p>\n Most leftovers are good for three to four days in the fridge, but vegetable side dishes such as this one (without any perishable add-ins) can keep for up to five days.<\/p>\n That\u2019s a matter of personal preference. Some people like their beans tender-crisp, while others don\u2019t enjoy veggies that squeak when they\u2019re chewed and prefer them fully cooked and tender. There\u2019s even a case to be made for cooking the beans past tender, to the point of being lightly charred, which brings out their natural sweetness. Try them a few different ways and see how you like them best. You may even opt to roast them differently from meal to meal, depending what else you\u2019re serving.<\/p>\n Shallots are a very cool member of the allium family, with a mild, sweet onion flavor<\/a> but a shape like big garlic cloves. They\u2019re usually available in higher-end grocery stores, but the best place to get them is Asian markets where they\u2019re less costly. If you don\u2019t have shallots on hand, scallions (the white part of green onions) are a good substitute and so are sweet onions. You can also use ordinary yellow or red onion, which will sweeten and caramelize as they roast. You can tone down their onion flavor by rinsing or soaking them briefly in cold water and then draining them well.<\/p>\n Roasted green beans are a light and versatile side dish. You can treat them as a bright and complementary side dish for low-fat, heart-healthy dinners<\/a>. On the other hand, you can also use them to provide a light, clean-flavored contrast to rich comfort-food meals<\/a>. They\u2019ll work just fine either way. You can also fine-tune the beans\u2019 flavors to match the rest of the meal with add-ins, toppings or garnishes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" These roasted green beans prove they have a lot to offer beyond the usual holiday casserole.
