Why this holiday roasted green bean recipe works
- Simple enough to make any night of the week.
- Just a few ingredients.
- Beautifully appealing to spruce up any holiday table.
Recipe Ingredients
Green Beans - The star of the show. Fresh green beans makes this elegant enough for the holiday meals. They are nutritious and are the star of the dish.
Mushrooms - They add an earthiness to the dish and lend a lot of flavor.
Tomatoes - They burst when roasting and all their juices flow throughout the dish lending lots of delicious flavor.
Garlic - Garlic is delicious in just about every form it comes in but when roasted it becomes caramelized and sweet, rounding out the flavor profile of the dish.
Olive oil - The olive oil is a healthier fat option and has more flavor when compared to other types of oils such as vegetable or canola. It lends a lot of flavor and coats everything well for even roasting.
Salt and pepper - Lend flavor to the dish.
Parmesan - The nutty flavor of the parmesan cheese rounds out the flavor profile of the dish.
How to make Holiday Roasted Green Beans
Preheat the oven to 425° F.
Lightly grease a sheet pan.
Place green beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, and garlic on the sheet pan.
Drizzle olive oil over the top.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the green beans and mushrooms are roasted and tender and the tomatoes have burst open.
Serve with grated parmesan, if desired.
Recipe Notes and Tips
- To save time, you can use already cleaned and snapped fresh green beans.
- I like to use the medley tomatoes which have red, yellow, orange, and other tomatoes for the variation of colors and flavors, but you can add whichever small type of tomato you would like. Doing just red with the green beans would be beautiful for Christmas.
- Cremini mushroom will add more flavor than the white button mushrooms, but both work well in this dish.
- Chop your garlic into medium size pieces so that they can caramelize.
- Adding a little fresh parmesan cheese grated on top will take this dish over the top.
