Crispy Roasted Green Beans – A Simple, Nourishing Snack or Side

Mar 14

When you want something crunchy, salty, and satisfying—but still nutrient-dense and dare I say Midwestern—these roasted green beans hit the spot. Think crispy, blistered edges, a little umami richness from the coconut aminos, and just the right amount of salt to keep you reaching for more.

Plus, they’re ridiculously easy to throw together. Minimal ingredients, maximum flavor.

Why You’ll Love Them:

✔️ Crispy, blistered perfection in just 15 minutes
✔️ Naturally paleo-friendly
✔️ An incredibly easy side dish
✔️ Simple ingredients, big flavor

Ingredients:

1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp coconut aminos

Instructions:

1.Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 375°F.
2. Toss green beans with avocado oil, salt, garlic powder, and coconut aminos in a large bowl—make sure they’re well coated.
3. Spread them out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet (no overlapping, so they crisp up!).
4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until you start to see the beans blister and crisp at the edges.
5. Let them cool for a minute before devouring.

Pro Tip: If you like them extra crispy, leave them in for an extra 2-3 minutes and crank the broiler on low at the end!

Why These Green Beans Are a Nutritional Win:

Rich in fiber & antioxidants to support digestion and reduce inflammation
Coconut aminos add a depth of flavor + minerals without refined sugars
Avocado oil is a heart-healthy fat that supports brain function

These are the kind of green beans that don’t make it to the plate—because you’ll find yourself eating them straight off the pan. That’s not just me, right? Crunchy, salty, satisfying… exactly what a good recipe should be. Oh, and what last thing, they are SO GOOD CHILLED TOO!
