Lemon Garlic Roasted Green Beans
My entire family loves these Lemon Garlic Roasted Green Beans. They only take a few minutes to prep and 25 minutes to bake in the oven.
It's the perfect side to roast while you're prepping your main dish. We love making green beans to go along with our Cornflake Chicken, Grilled California Chicken, Sunday Pot Roast-Rump Roast Recipe, and also our Baked BBQ Chicken Recipe.
This recipe is perfect for Thanksgiving and Easter. There aren't any creamy sauces or dressings, just fresh green beans and lots of garlic and lemon flavor!
Oven Baked Green Beans Ingredients
- Green Beans - make sure to use fresh green beans for this recipe. They should be trimmed before using.
- Avocado Oil - you can also use olive oil.
- Garlic- freshly minced garlic will have the best flavor for this recipe, but you could use the jarred minced garlic in a pinch.
- Salt and Pepper
- Fresh Lemon - you will need the juice of a whole lemon. If you want even more lemon flavor you could add the lemon zest, too.
How to Make Lemon Garlic Roasted Green Beans
- Rinse the green beans, then trim the ends off. (You can cut them into 1" pieces if you want but they're fun to eat as a finger food too.)
- Place green beans into a 9" x 13" glass baking dish and drizzle with the avocado oil. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper and mix.
- Add the green beans to the preheated 400 degree oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until they are starting to turn golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Lightly toss with a fork just before serving. Enjoy!
Recipe Variations for Oven Roasted Green Beans
- Sesame Ginger Garlic Green Beans: Mix minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated fresh ginger. Toss the green beans in this mixture before roasting, and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
- Balsamic Glazed Garlic Green Beans: Roast green beans with minced garlic and olive oil. Drizzle balsamic glaze over the beans during the last few minutes of roasting for a sweet and tangy flavor.
- Honey Mustard Garlic Green Beans: Combine minced garlic with a mixture of Dijon mustard and honey. Toss green beans in this honey mustard sauce before roasting for a sweet and savory twist.
- Spicy Garlic Green Beans: Add a kick to your green beans by tossing them with minced garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes before roasting.
- Garlic Almond Green Beans: Roast green beans with minced garlic and olive oil. Toast slivered almonds separately, then sprinkle them over the roasted green beans before serving for added crunch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fresh green beans take out 20-25 minutes in a 400-degree oven to roast. If you need to bake another dish at 350 degrees, in the oven, that will work for green beans too. You'll just need to bake the beans for an extra 5-10 minutes or until they are tender.
If you decide to roast your green beans at 350 degrees F instead, plan on adding another 5-10 minutes to the roasting time for a total of 25-35 minutes.
We love to season our green beans with garlic and lemon juice. Simply place the green beans in a 9 by 13" baking dish, drizzle with cooking oil (avocado oil is my favorite) and then toss in a couple of tablespoons of minced garlic.
Salt and pepper to taste and then roast in a 400-degree oven for 25 minutes. When you take the green beans out of the oven, squeeze a half fresh lemon on the beans and serve immediately. Enjoy!
