Roasted Green Beans

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Roasted green beans is a simple and easy Whole30 vegetable side dish. They’re tender yet toasty, and a spritz of citrus ties everything together!

Before anyone gets on my case about whether roasted green beans are Paleo, I eat them when they’re in season because they’re more pod than bean, and because Robb Wolf, Mark Sisson, and Whole30 say it’s a-OK. So there.

My favorite way to cook these green pods is to roast them in a hot oven after they’ve been tossed with melted fat and lightly drizzled with fish sauce. Squeeze on some fresh lime or lemon juice at the end and you won’t be able to stop eating them!

Time to make Roasted Green Beans!

4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound green beans, stem ends removed
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, melted coconut oil, ghee, or fat of choice
  • 1 teaspoon Red Boat Fish Sauce, Magic Mushroom Powder, or coconut aminos
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Juice from half a lime or lemon

Method:

Preheat the oven to 450°F with the rack in the middle of the oven. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Grab your washed and trimmed green beans and make sure they are bone dry.

…and pop them in the oven for 20 minutes, tossing the beans at the midway point.

The beans are ready when the skins are wrinkly and dotted with browned spots. Squeeze on the juice from half a lime or lemon and serve immediately.
