Notes
- Expert Tips
- You can cook more than one pound of beans at a time in the oven, but use multiple roasting pans. The roasting time will be about the same as for one pound; however, you'll need to rotate the pans between the high and low racks halfway through for even browning.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. Spread the green beans out in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly and get that desired caramelization.
- Don't overcook! Keep an eye on the beans near the end of cooking and remove any that look cooked to your liking.
- Storage and Reheating
- If you have any leftovers you can store them in an airtight container in your refrigerator for 2-3 days. To reheat you can do so in the microwave on 30 second intervals until everything has warmed through.
