Using Frozen Green Beans
You can use frozen green beans for roasting in oven, but there are a few tips to get the best results:
1. Make sure to thaw the frozen green beans completely and pat them dry with a paper towel. Excess moisture can lead to steaming rather than roasting.
2. Frozen string beans may need a slightly longer roasting time compared to fresh ones.
3. Use a larger sheet pan to ensure the French beans are spread out in a single layer, allowing for better water evaporation and more even roasting.

Recipe FAQs
Before roasting your green beans, trim the stem ends. To do this quickly, line up a handful of beans on a cutting board and cut across the stem ends to trim multiple beans at once. Repeat with the remaining beans. If you prefer to skip this step, you can find pre-trimmed green beans in the packaged produce section.
No, you don’t need to blanch green beans before baking. Roasting them directly allows the high heat to caramelize the beans and enhance their natural sweetness, simplifying the process.
