If you’re wondering how to cook green beans, these oven roasted green beans are for you! This is the best green bean recipe I’ve made in a long time and the dipping sauce just adds to the fun!
So, you want to know my usual way to eat a green bean?
This green bean recipe right here. I make it as often as possible. Both of my kids eat it, which is a miracle, and it’s really not too difficult!
This green bean casserole is also a big hit!
But, you guys. I have a new found green bean love. I toss them in Parmesan cheese and then I roast them.
And then I stand over the cookie sheet full of crispy green goodness and I point at each individual bean and say “Mine. Mine. Mine.”
Sorry, kids. This dish is for mama, you can’t have any, don’t even ask.
I mean, they don’t, like, need nutrients or anything, right? Kids are resilient. They’ll be fine with their box of mac and cheese while I hoover in the green beans.
Of course, I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t fatten things up with this seriously creamy dipping sauce. It’s tangy and garlicky and maybe sometimes you’ll find yourself eating it with a spoon. Who can say, really?
This recipe just so happens to be low in carbs and high in fat (when you add the dip), which is perfect for my keto diet. It also happens to be downright amazing, so I eat these even when I’m not doing the low carb thing.
I’ve only tried this recipe using fresh green beans, but I plan to give them a try with a big bag of frozen beans sometime soon. I kind of hate trimming green beans and yet, I seem to manage it every other night because that’s how addicted to these green beans I am. They’re almost like french fries and I’m in love.
Roasted Green Beans with Creamy Dipping Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans rinsed and trimmed
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese the powdery kind from the green can

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Toss the green beans, oil, and Parmesan cheese together to coat.

Absolute yum!

Could nutritional yeast be subbed for the Parmesan?
Karly says
I’ve never tried, so I’m not sure.
Sarah says
My husband tolerates but doesn’t love fresh green beans. We have some to use up so we’ll have to try these! For the nutrition facts, how much is one serving? Thanks!
Karly says
The nutrition info is based on 4 servings in the recipe.

Saw your recipe and made this today. I HATE veggies but I’m trying to go out of my way to really find some I like. This was amazing. My boyfriend kind of gave it the look like you want me to eat that?! But he did and he loved it too. The dipping sauce was total genius. Gonna make this at least once a week!
Karly says
Yay for veggies! Glad you gave these a try!
Dawn says
I make roast green beans all the time!! Love them! But now I will have to make your dipping sauce!! You can buy trimmed green beans in a big bag at Wal mart so than you don’t have to clean and trim your own! Makes life easier!
Karly says
Good to know! I’ll have to keep an eye out at Walmart! 🙂
Lori says
Look delish! I for one won’t be trimming them. Can’t be worse than a shrimp tail. If I eat them one at a time, I’ll just pitch the stem when I get to it. ; )

My sister in law roasted green beans with mushrooms for Easter, I’d never had them that way and I fell in love…elevate it with the parm and the dipping sauce, I’m totally in!!!
marcie says
I love roasted green beans, and this would make such a great snack!
Carol at Wild Goose Mama says
I like roasted green beans to start with. The dipping sauce is really really fun.
I don’t normally talk about ME, but please make note of the slight name change from Wild Goose Tea. New web design–whoopee and adding some new features along the way.

OK, now my plain roasted green beans are never going to be good enough. Dipping sauce?! Parmesan cheese?! Brilliant!!
