Feel free to add other spices and herbs for your favorite flavors for the five star rating recipe to this easy side dish.

Extra Crispiness: Make sure you have space in between the green beans for ultimate crispiness for green bean results. If the green beans are too close together, it will be more mushy because it’s steaming. The extra space on your sheet pan will make the green beans more crispy.

Best Way To Get Perfect Flavor: When you are buying frozen green beans at the grocery store, it will take less time to cook and make your green beans roast taste better getting smaller green bean pieces. Game Changer for perfect results

Large green beans take longer to cook and are mushy…NO MUSHY TEXTURE GREEN BEANS HERE!

Thin green beans, french cut or one inch cut green beans are a great way to get that tasty side dish.

Best Way To Prepare Frozen Green Beans

Ovens Vary: If your cooked green beans are not crispy enough, simply bake in the oven for another 10-15 minutes since ovens vary.

For best results, you can broil for a minute right before taking out for extra crisp. Be mindful of burning your parchment paper like I did.
