Garlic Roasted Green Beans with Almonds
These Garlic Roasted Green Beans with Almonds are my absolute favorite new side dish. I want to eat them with everything! The toasty, crunchy almonds, the crisp, seasoned green beans and the golden roasted garlic are a combination you won’t be able to get enough of – plus it goes with everything!
This dish is super easy to make and you could easily make a bigger batch if you’re serving it for Thanksgiving or a dinner party. It looks elegant, packs tons of flavor, and it’s healthy – what more could you ask for? Besides a way to eat as much garlic as you please and still have minty-fresh breath afterward, of course.

Ingredients
- 12 oz raw green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sea salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Place the green beans in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Stir to coat, making sure oil is evenly distributed on the beans. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Favorite ingredients all in one dish! This is a must-do and serve, especially for the holidays. Thx for sharing… 🙂
I love anything roasted with garlic and these beans are no exception!! LOVE!
great holiday recipe
I love almonds with green beans! I love the addition of garlic, too!
You made my day!. I have been craving these green beans from a dim sum restaurant about 45 min away. I had to run to the store immediately and get the ingredients to make it with my lunch!
These garlic roasted green beans make the perfect holiday side dish. 🙂
The perfect holiday side!
Looks so delicious, and easy! The perfect dish for Thanksgiving!
Question – I have frozen GB’s in the freezer – would you suggest using them? And if yes – would you thaw them first? Maybe in the fridge for the day? Thanks – love the site – I’m a frequent flyer here 🙂
Thanks Amy! I would definitely recommend fresh, the texture of the beans will be better. If you want to try it with frozen, I’d suggest allowing them to thaw first. Let me know how it turns out!
I have made a similar recipe over the yrs, using a skillet, and then an electric skillet. I usually add soy sauce to salt them up a bit. And I frequently use caned rather than fresh as a time factor.
I’ve done them w french cut and ‘kitchen cut’ but I prefer the whole green beans. (which do come canned too). quick and easy to get done.
I made this for Thanksgiving dinner and my family loved them. These will be a regular in our house!
Glad to hear it, thanks for reporting back! 🙂
I just made these today (trial run) and they turned out really yummy!!! Making them again for our guests later today. Thank you for posting this great recipe!!!
So glad you loved them, I hope the recipe is a hit with your guests!
I made these for Thanksgiving dinner. They were a BIG HIT. I loved them, and so did everyone else! Thanks for the great recipe (and calculating the WW Points+ as well).
I plan to make this great recipe for holiday meal for a party of (9). Does this recipe need to be doubled? There will be other sides as well. Ty.
I would double it!
Can these be make ahead of time and kept warm in a crockpot?
Thank you for an excellent recipe. Tried these beans for the first time tonight, alongside your pimento cheese stuffed chicken breasts. So yummy. Both will be going into my menu rotation.
My new favorite side dish! This was so good! I made them with your turkey bundles and it was all so satisfying and yummy. Thanks for all your great recipes 🙂
