A simple and healthy recipe for roasted carrots and green beans, seasoned with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the vegetables while giving them a tender texture and lightly caramelized finish, perfect as a side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 lb fresh carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prep vegetables: Peel the carrots and cut them into uniform sticks for even cooking. Trim the ends of the green beans to remove any tough parts.
  3. Season: In a large mixing bowl, toss the carrot sticks and green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, coarse salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the vegetables are evenly coated.
  4. Arrange: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
  5. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Stir the vegetables once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even caramelization and tenderness.
  6. Serve: Once the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized, remove them from the oven and serve immediately as a nutritious and flavorful side dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm carrots and green beans for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste; you can add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra aroma.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before roasting.
  • If you prefer softer vegetables, roast a few minutes longer, but keep an eye to avoid burning.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
