Frozen roasted green beans are simple side dish that's really easy to cook, as long as you follow a few helpful tips.
Frozen Cut Green Beans
Frozen whole green beans roast better than frozen cut green beans, which are smaller and fatter and hold more moisture. If you must roast frozen cut green beans, I've found that it's best to defrost them first to remove some moisture. Put the frozen cut green beans in a large microwave-safe or glass dish filled with 1-inch of water. Microwave for 20 seconds. This will defrost the beans without drying them out. Drain off the water and spread the beans out on a lint-free dish towel. Pat the beans dry. Toss the green beans in oil and season with salt. Spread the beans out on a baking sheet, leaving space between the beans. Roast for 10 minutes. Add more salt to taste. Serve immediately.
What other methods can be used to bake frozen green beans?
Instead of roasting frozen green beans on a sheet-pan, you can put the frozen beans in a small baking dish. Add a generous amount of butter or olive and season with salt. Bake for about 12 minutes, until the beans are soft and warm. This will make roasted green beans that have a softer, less crispy texture. However, they are also less likely to dry out, which is a plus.
Seasoning for Frozen Green Beans
Add more flavor to the green beans with one of these seasonings: very finely grated parmesan cheese, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, Red pepper flakes, freshly chopped dill or parsley, lemon zest or lemon juice.
