Roasted Carrots and Green Beans Recipe
With 5 simple ingredients, roasted carrots and green beans with garlic can be served as a weeknight side dish or as an addition to your holiday table. The oven roasted vegetables become caramelized and slightly charred, with the balsamic drizzle giving it a zingy flavor that complements the sweetness of the carrots.

- 2 ½ cups (12 ounces) green beans, washed and ends trimmed
- 4 cups (1.5 pounds) carrots, washed and cut into matchsticks
- 4 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- fresh parsley, garnish (optional)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a large bowl, toss the green beans, carrots, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Transfer the vegetables to a large baking sheet and spread into a single layer, avoiding crowding.
Roast for 35 minutes, until tender and caramelized.
Remove vegetables from the oven and drizzle with balsamic before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley (if using).
- Storage: Place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- How to freeze: After completely cooled, transfer to a freezer-safe container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in refrigerator overnight.
- How to reheat: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place vegetables (on a baking sheet) in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until heated through.
- For easier prep: Buy pre-trimmed green beans
- Don't overcrowd the vegetables on your baking sheet.
- Size matters. Cut carrots so that they're roughly the same size for even roasting.
- To peel or not to peel: You don't have to peel your carrots, but wash them well.
- Skip the parchment. Roasting vegetables directly onto a baking sheet (without using parchment or foil) helps to create that crisp-edged caramelization that we want.
