Roasted Green Beans
Roasted Green Beans Ingredients
- Fresh green beans
- Sriracha sauce
- Honey
- Olive oil
- Slivered almonds
- Salt, to taste
When we rely on a quickie meal though, I like to add our own touches. A fresh salad, for example. Grilled corn, maybe. Or today, Roasted Green Beans!
These Green Beans are tossed with a little honey and sriracha sauce, then roasted at a high temperature with slivered almonds. They’re a subtle, but delicious flavor with a bit of kick at the end.
How do you make oven roasted green beans? (Step-by-step)
★ First, whisk together sriracha sauce, honey, and olive oil in a large bowl. Add green beans and toss until well coated.
★ Then, pour beans out onto a baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Sprinkle almonds evenly over top.
★ Next, roast for 20 minutes, flipping beans once after ten minutes.
★ Finally, sprinkle with course salt and enjoy!
Perfect for any occasion, but especially great on days when you don’t have much time for major prep. I use an equal amount of sweet and heat on mine, but if your tastes are different, it’s simple to adjust the recipe!
Sriracha is a chili garlic sauce with delicious complex flavors – I had the idea to mix it with honey when we I ate teriyaki chicken with my mother-in-law and she used it to spice up her dish.
One bite and I was hooked on the sweet and spicy combo!
I always keep a bag of slivered almonds in the freezer for adding to dishes. They’re so good in everything from ice cream to casseroles, and of course with veggies. While the green beans roasted in the oven, I started our Creamy Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo.
All said and done, this entire meal took thirty minutes from start to finish. I think the most time intensive part was snapping the ends off our fresh green beans!
Our green beans were done just as the main course was finishing up, so we were able to enjoy everything together and warm at the same time.
I’m always so happy when that happens because it seems like there’s always one thing that takes longer and then you’re stuck decided whether to wait on it and let some of the dinner get cold, or start without and risk forgetting about it! Hah!

All you have to say is sriracha…and I am in. I use it ALL the time. So good. Roasting veggies is the best (besides grilling). This is the perfect side dish to some great grilled steaks.
