Description
This delicious roasted green beans and baby potatoes dish is perfect as a side for any meal. It’s simple, healthy, and packed with flavor!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. For the best browning, use a dark-colored rimmed baking sheet.
- Trim and snap fresh green beans into 2-inch lengths. Cut potatoes into halves or quarters to match the size of the beans. Ensure potatoes are completely dry; moisture leads to steaming rather than roasting.
- Combine beans, potatoes, and onion wedges on the tray. Drizzle with olive oil and toss thoroughly. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, then toss again.
- Spread vegetables into a single layer. Do not crowd the pan, or they will turn out mushy.
- Slide the tray into the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the tray. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the vegetables and use a spatula to turn them, ensuring the garlic is well-incorporated into the hot oil.
- Return the tray to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes. Roast until potatoes are fork-tender and beans show dark, caramelized spots.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider using other spices or fresh herbs.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet.
