Notes
* If using frozen green beans: Begin by spreading the frozen green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet and putting them in the preheated oven for about 1-2 minutes to thaw. Once they are warm then toss with olive oil and proceed with the recipe.Ingredient Substitutions
Green beans. You can use fresh or frozen beans. I give instructions on how to use frozen beans in the post and recipe card. I've done this often with great results.
Olive oil. Any neutral oil works well, I suggest avocado oil or canola oil as substitutions for olive oil.
Smoked paprika. I love the smoky flavor of smoked paprika, but you can use regular paprika if desired.
Minced garlic. you can substitute ½ tsp garlic powder for the minced garlic. You can also use jarred or freshly chopped garlic depending on your preference.
StoreStore leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I don't recommend freezing baked green beans. Reheat in the oven or in the microwave.
