Description
These easy Roasted Green Beans and Carrots are the perfect vegetable side dish for just about any occasion. You need fewer than 10 ingredients and just about 30 minutes of roasting!
Ingredients
- 1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and sliced into matchsticks
- 3/4 cup thinly sliced shallots (2 large shallots)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375˚F / 190˚C.
- Wash and trim green beans. Peel and cut carrots into 1/4-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.
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, parsley and thyme. Pour over the vegetables and toss well to coat.
- Spread vegetables into an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring 2-3 times while roasting, until carrots are fork tender.
Notes
Match green bean thickness: We cut our carrots into 1/4 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).
