A quick, healthy, and comforting side dish featuring roasted carrots and green beans with olive oil, garlic, and seasoning. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Carrots, peeled and sliced into sticks or rounds
  • Green beans, trimmed
  • 23 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Thyme, rosemary, or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the carrots and slice them into sticks or rounds, about 1/4-inch thick. Trim the ends off the green beans and set them aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the carrots and green beans. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle in minced garlic, paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the veggies are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes. Halfway through, flip the vegetables with a spatula or tongs to ensure they cook evenly.
  5. Check for doneness. The carrots should be tender with slightly caramelized edges, and the green beans should have a slight crispness. If needed, roast for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley, thyme, or rosemary over the veggies. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes
