Italian Roasted Green Beans

Sometimes, the best dishes are the simplest ones. These roasted Italian green beans are tossed in a buttery blend of olive oil, garlic, and herbs, then baked until lightly caramelized and perfectly tender. It’s the kind of easy, flavor-packed side that pairs beautifully with just about anything — from roasted chicken to pasta, or even your favorite holiday main.

Ingredients

1 lb green beans, trimmed

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon minced garlic

½ teaspoon Italian dressing seasoning (I use Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat oven:

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.

Prepare beans:

Arrange the green beans in a single layer on the sheet pan.

Make seasoning:

In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Toss and coat:

Drizzle the butter mixture over the green beans and toss until evenly coated.

Roast:

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the beans are tender and lightly browned around the edges.

Finish:

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm. Garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.

Pro Tips

For extra flavor, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the beans right after roasting.

Don’t overcrowd the pan — giving the beans space helps them roast instead of steam.

To make cleanup easier, line your baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

This recipe doubles easily — perfect for family dinners or meal prep.

Simple, savory, and full of bright Italian flavor — these roasted green beans are the perfect everyday side. ✨
