How to make roasted carrots and green beans

Let’s quickly discuss how this dish goes down:

Add vegetables to a baking sheet. Combine the green beans and carrots on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Toss with seasonings. Quickly drizzle or spray with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss until well combined. Spread in a single layer.

Bake until tender. Transfer to the oven and roast until caramelised and tender. Remove once the carrots are fork tender or cooked to your liking*.

To serve. Top the carrots and green beans parsley, crumbled feta and a good squeeze of lemon juice.

Tips & variations

  • Cut your carrots evenly so they cook evenly. Try to use whole carrots the same size. Slice lengthways the center of the carrot and cut into quarters.
  • Trim the green beans. Cut the rough ends off the green beans
  • Do not overcrowd the pan. If your baking sheet or roasting pan is too small to fit all of the vegetables, use two baking sheets. The vegetables will roast better if the pan is not overcrowded.
  • Keep an eye on your vegetables as they are roasting. Check them at 25-30 minutes. If you like crunchier vegetables leave them in the oven for an extra 5 minutes if you like your vegetables more tender.
  • Dairy free? Replace the feta with vegan feta cheese or omit all together.

How to store

Let the veggies cool completely, then store in a airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or the oven.

Recipe FAQs

What flavours go well with green beans?

Garlic, lemon, parsley, basil, thyme, butter. Green beans have a pretty neutral flavor so many herbs and spices pair beautifully.

Do you need to blanch green beans before cooking? 

No, you do not need to blanch the green beans before roasting them. Roasting them cooks them enough.

Which oil is best for roasting vegetables?

I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil in a spray bottle because it is easy to evenly coat all of the veggies. Avocado oil or ghee are also great options.
