Ingredients
Scroll down to the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and amounts.
- Green beans - You'll need one pound of fresh green beans. Choose beans that are vibrant and firm, snapping easily when bent. Rinse them well and trim off the ends, or use pre-cut beans for convenience.
- Garlic. 2 large cloves add incredible flavor.
- Almonds - You can use either sliced or slivered almonds, but I recommend sliced almonds. They sit better on the thin green beans compared to slivered almonds, which tend to fall through the gaps.
- Panko - Adds a toasty crunch and helps the almonds adhere better.
- Olive oil - It helps the veggies from sticking to the roasting pan and also promote even browning and caramelization.

- Don’t crowd the beans. Use a large baking sheet for one pound of green beans.
- If you want to double the recipe to serve a larger crowd, split the beans across two large sheet pans.
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 roasting. Roasting them directly allows the high heat to caramelize the beans and enhance their natural sweetness, simplifying the process.
Yes, you can use frozen green beans for roasting, 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 green beans may need a slightly longer roasting time compared to fresh beans.
3. Use a larger sheet pan to ensure the beans are spread out in a single layer, allowing for better water evaporation and more even roasting.
