Roasted green beans are a refreshing replacement to the typical holiday green bean casserole. Casseroles are thought to be quick and easy. Fresh vegetables are just as easy and healthier. Trimming and cleaning the beans tends to be the most time consuming task. To save time, purchase organic trimmed beans. Bagged beans are pricer but time is a valuable commodity, especially, durning the holidays.

Marinating the beans the day before or even 30 minutes before cooking adds delicious light flavors to the beans. For a spicer marinade, add some hot sauce. Lemons and limes paired with fresh herbs are always easy marinades. Experiment, just not before a holiday gathering.

Rich texture and flavors are achieved using toasted walnuts. Slivered toasted almonds are another topping alternative. Having a side of gravy is always a welcomed addition. Who doesn’t love a great gravy?

Fresh green beans are a tasty treat. Whether steamed, roasted, barbecued, sautéed or snapped off the vine, they are delicious. Even the pickiest eaters love crunching on fresh vegetables. They are equally tasty with fresh hummus or vegan ranch dressing.
