Why We Love This Recipe

  • Quick and easy: This recipe is super easy to make on a busy holiday, with just two major steps: whisking the dressing together, and then roasting the green beans and carrots. You can even prep everything in advance so you only need to roast the veggies right before serving.
  • Versatile side dish: These simple roasted vegetables are perfect for pairing with just about any main dish you can think of. A great way to get in an extra serving of veggies without much effort!
  • Allergy friendly: These roasted vegetables are naturally gluten free, vegan, nut and soy free, so they're a great option for those with allergies.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to make these roasted green beans and carrots:

Roasted green bean and carrot ingredients including shallots and olive oil.
Fewer than 10 ingredients, including pantry staples!

Ingredient Notes

  • Green beans: Be sure to trim the tough stem. Otherwise, you'll want to leave these whole, otherwise they will cook faster than the carrots.
  • Carrots: Smaller, thinner carrots (that are more similar in size to the green beans) are the best bet here. Make sure to slice them into thin matchsticks so they cook at an even rate.
  • Shallots: You can also sub with yellow or white onion.
  • Herbs: We used fresh thyme and parsley in this recipe. You can opt for dried herbs instead, just keep in mind that 1 tablespoon fresh = 1 teaspoon dry.
  • Lemon juice: A small amount of acidity really bumps up the flavor of these roasted vegetables. Freshly squeezed is always best when possible.

Instructions

PREP: Preheat the oven to 375˚F / 190˚C. 

(1) Wash and trim green beans. Peel and cut carrots into ¼-inch thick strips that are 3-4 inches long (they should roughly match the size of the green beans so they cook at the same rate).

Add the carrots and green beans to a large bowl with shallots.

Make sure to cut the carrots as similar as possible in size to the green beans.

(2) Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, parsley and thyme. Pour over the vegetables and toss well to coat.

(3) Spread vegetables into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.

(4) Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring 2-3 times while roasting, until carrots are fork tender.

Roast until the carrots are fork tender. The green beans will be more browned, and that's ok!

Tips and FAQs

  • Match green bean thickness: We cut our carrots into ¼ inch thick strips that are 3-4 inches long so that they match the thickness of the green beans. This makes everything look uniform and helps the vegetables cook evenly while roasting.
  • Stir while roasting: This makes sure the carrots and green beans are all cooked evenly and that the shallots do not burn or get stuck to the pan.
  • Storage: You can store these in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days. To reheat, add the veggies to a skillet over medium heat and sauté until warmed through. If they look a little dry, you can always add in some more olive oil.
  • Change it up: Try adding in different herbs (oregano, sage, rosemary, basil), spices (paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, etc) or even vegetables (parsnips, squash, brussels sprouts, or other fall vegetables).
  • Serve with:
    • Vegan Meatloaf
    • Wild Rice Stuffed Acorn Squash
    • Cabbage or Cauliflower Steaks
    • Mushroom Stew
    • Lasagna or Baked Pasta
    • Mac and Cheese
    • Vegetable Pot Pie
