    Ingredients & Variations

    • Green beans- Fresh green beans gives better texture, taste great and provides a bit more nutrients than canned beans. Frozen beans get soft after thawing process which results in different texture after cooking. In every way this recipe works and taste good.
      • Fresh vs Canned green beans- Should you use fresh or canned beans? Which is healthier? At first place where fresh works BEST in terms of texture and nutrition, canned or frozen beans are not bad either. Canned vegetables are preserved at their highest of BEST, and retain their most nutritional value. Often sodium content is higher in canned food (added to preserve the flavors and safety), you may want to adjust salt accordingly or find where no added sugar or salt in the can. Canned vegetables are already cooked and very soft, final result may not be similar.
      • Fresh vs Frozen- Frozen is better to use if compared to canned. They retain their bright green color, and uncooked. Having said that frozen green beans lose their texture in freezing and thawing. You can check how to freeze fresh green beans.
    • Potatoes- Any variety of potatoes like, yukon gold, russet, baby potatoes or red potatoes will go with the recipe. Feel free to make use of them.
    • Herbs- Baking with sage gives such a festive aroma. These sage roasted potatoes and green beans is one of the holiday recipe to cook and serve. Cilantro, mint, pasrley, oregano, rosemarry, theyme, are other few herbs to use if sage is not available.
    • Spices- Garlic, salt, black pepper are few spices using here. Feel free to season it with any of your favourite spices like curry powder, or garama masala powder.
    • Oil- Olive oil is preferred but any other vegetable oil works well too. Coconut oil will result in coconutty aroma so use it after considering this fact.

    How To Make oven-roasted green beans and potatoes

    This sheet pan green beans and potatoes is 5 ingredients recipe to make from scratch. Let see how to make it.

    Roast potatoes at first

    To start with, peel the potatoes, wash, and cut them into even cubes. Transfer them to a mixing bowl and add oil, chopped sage, black peppers, and salt. Mix well.

    Spread them now on a nonstick sheet pan evenly (Not sticking with each other, this helps in baking evenly) and bake at 400F for 15 minutes.

    Add green beans

    While potatoes are in the oven, prepare for green beans. Clean, and wash them nicely. Trim both the ends and cut into 1.5" lengthwise. Use the same bowl in which you mixed potatoes, no need to wash it.

    Add green beans, oil, chopped sage, black pepper, salt, and sliced garlic to the same bowl and mix nicely.

    Once 15 minutes are over, take out the potatoes and add them to the sheet pan. Stir everything and spread evenly. Bake them for another 15 minutes at 400F temperature.

    Garnish & serve

    Check after 15 minutes if beans are cooked as per liking or you like to bake for another few minutes. Once baking is done, take the sheet pan out from the oven and garnish it with cilantro. Oven-roasted sheet pan green beans and potatoes with sage are ready to serve.

    Tips & FAQ's

    • For green beans, first, trim both ends and than cut into 1.5" pieces.
    • Cut potatoes evenly, if cut uneven, small pieces will burn and mushy while bigger cubes are still hard. It is always better to cut evenly.
    • Start with cooking potatoes as they take longer to cook.
    • Season with your favourite spices and enjoy this dish on holidays.
    • Use non stick baking sheet pan. This is another must while baking green beans & potatoes to avoid sticking with the baking pan. You can use parchment paper or baking mat as well.
    Can you cook potatoes and green beans together?

    Cooking vegetables at the same time depends on the cooking time taken by each vegetable. Potatoes take a long time while green beans require lesser minutes. This is the reason while roasting potatoes are cooked first and green beans added later.
    If you cook both at the same time, you may get overcooked green beans.

    Can I use canned green beans to make this recipe?

    Canned beans are cooked, soft in texture, and have a dull green color. You need to look further for added salt or sugar in canned one. Where there is not much difference in nutritional values, adding canned green beans in this recipe will result in a different texture altogether.

    Serving & Storage

    What to serve with freshly baked green beans & potatoes? Well, this hearty side dish is perfect to pair with any meat, or grilled tofu or paneer, steamed white/brown rice, quinoa, or any flatbread.

    Homemade quick pickles like pickled red onions, pickled jalapeno, and pickled radishes are few vegetable pickles to enjoy along with the roasted vegetables.

    I must say that due to its delicious flavors and aromatics, you can enjoy this roasted veggie by itself as a snack too.

    Storing this roasted sheet pan vegetables is really easy. Just store any leftover in an airtight container and refrigerate for 3-5 days easily.

    To reheat, either microwave for 30second-1 min in a microwavable bowl or use a saucepan on the stovetop. Stir few times until you like it and serve immediately.
