Making Roasted Green Beans and Potatoes:

As I just said, this is a very simple recipe that is so easy to make. The hardest part is dicing the potatoes and possibly having to cut long green beans. Cut them up and coat in the oil and seasoning. Bake and serve with your favorite dinner entree.

Ingredients:

Red Potatoes
Fresh Green Beans
Vegetable Oil
Seasoning Salt
Pepper

Directions:

Step One - Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step Two - Wash and dice the potatoes. Only cut the green beans if you want to. Soak the potatoes in cold water for about 10 minutes (optional)

Step Three - Add your potatoes and green beans into a large mixing bowl. Pour in oil and seasonings and toss to mix. Pour onto the prepared baking dish.

Tip: Mix your green beans and potatoes gently so they do not get mushy.

Step Four - Bake for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Serve and enjoy.

Should I pre-soak my potatoes before roasting them?

Soaking potatoes in cold water before roasting helps remove some of the starchiness from the potatoes. This will also help them crisp nicely. When cooking potatoes with green beans I would recommend a quick soak, just to help the potatoes cook a little easier with green beans.

Roasted green beans and potatoes with bacon turns a classic southern-style recipe into a sheet pan, hands-off side dish! Fresh green beans, yellow or red baby potatoes, onions and bacon are baked together in the oven until golden, crispy, and absolutely divine.

While the veggies are boiling, bacon is fried in a skillet with chopped onion. Then the cooked green beans, potatoes, bacon, and onion are mixed together with the bacon drippings, salt, and pepper.

When I started making it I found it a little cumbersome, especially for a gluten free side dish. I didn’t like boiling the potatoes, timing when to add the beans, and then frying the bacon and onions separately.

Plus no one likes to wash extra dishes! This green beans and potatoes with bacon recipe has the same southern flavors, but without the extra steps, pans, or effort!

How To Make Green Beans and Potatoes

Just like when making bacon brussels sprouts, the drippings flavor and coat the veggies as they roast. To chop the bacon easily before placing it on the pan, use a set of kitchen shears.

(Below shows step-by-step photos and modified instructions. For the complete recipe, along with ingredient amounts, scroll down to the recipe card.)

Preheat oven to 425ºF. On a rimmed baking sheet place quartered potatoes, chopped raw bacon, and onions. Bake for 20 minutes, rotating halfway.
Add washed and trimmed fresh green beans. Return to oven for 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

best types of potatoes to use

My favorite type of potatoes for roasting are Yukon gold potatoes because they are thin-skinned, similarly sized, and finish with a nice brown and crispy exterior.

Yukon Golds are available everywhere, but other types of waxy potatoes will work just as well if that’s what you have on hand.

Waxy potatoes are any thin-skinned, low-starch potato that holds it shape with boiling or mashing. Common waxy potatoes are Red bliss, fingerling, or white potatoes.

Commonly green beans and potatoes recipes call for baby red (more similarly sized and smaller), Red Bliss, or Yukons. Any of these will work, as long as they are cut into 1-inch cubes.

Do I have to add bacon?

No. If you would like to enjoy potatoes and green beans without bacon, substitute 2 tablespoons of olive oil. For more flavor, replace one of the tablespoons with melted butter.

Green Beans, Potatoes, and Ham

Turn this green beans and potatoes recipe into another classic southern dish! No boil green beans, potatoes, and ham comes together in a few easy steps.

Combine potatoes, onions, and 2 tablespoons olive oil on a baking sheet.
Bake in a 425ºF oven for 20 minutes.
Add chopped ham and green beans. Roast another 20 minutes, or until potatoes are browned and crispy. Season with salt and pepper.

Italian style recipe

To make Italian potatoes and green beans, omit the bacon and toss the veggies in large mixing bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Once they have finished roasted, scatter freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.

More flavor modifications

Dijon Mustard Sauce: While green beans and potatoes are in the oven, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and 2 tablespoons chopped chives. Remove roasted green beans and potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle mustard sauce over. This sauce also pairs well with carrots and apples.
Pesto: After the roasted veggies come from the oven, season with salt and pepper, and dollop on 2 tablespoons prepared pesto. Stir to combine.
Parmesan: Remove potatoes and green beans, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan on top.
Seasonings: Add dried or fresh herbs, such as parsley, rosemary, Italian seasoning, or garlic powder. Alternatively add minced garlic cloves to the vegetables before they roast.
