This roasted carrots and green beans recipe is simple, wholesome, and delivers a burst of flavor that can steal the spotlight at any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Carrots (fresh, peeled, cut into thin sticks about 4-5 inches long)
  • Green Beans (trimmed and washed)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • Optional: balsamic glaze or fresh lemon juice for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Peel the carrots and cut them into thin sticks (about 4 inches long). Trim the ends off the green beans and wash them thoroughly. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the carrots and green beans. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet. Ensure they’re not overcrowded for even roasting.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through. The carrots should be tender and slightly caramelized, while the green beans should be crisp-tender.
  6. Remove from the oven and, if desired, drizzle with balsamic glaze or squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Spread the veggies in a single layer for even roasting. Toss midway for even caramelization. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of carrot sticks.
