💡 Expert Tips and Tricks
- Be sure to cut the potatoes into small enough pieces that they roast evenly.
- Prepare the green beans ahead of time - just trim the ends and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
- For a more convenient option, buy pre-trimmed and pre-washed green beans. They'll be a little more expensive but will majorly cut down on prep time!
❔ FAQs
This step isn't necessary, but soaking the potatoes first will remove excess starch and give you a super tender inside with a crispy exterior.
Aside from red potatoes, Yukon gold or russet potatoes are some of the best for roasting.
Green bean season runs from about May to October, so you'll be able to get delicious fresh green beans from late spring through early fall.
📝 Substitutions and Variations
- Add some extra flavor and texture by mixing in green onions or bell peppers.
- Squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the potatoes and green beans for a pop of refreshing flavor, or top with Parmesan cheese.
- Italian seasoning can be used instead of thyme for even more flavor.
Kristin's Kitchen Tip
Allow space between the veggies for more even roasting! You can bake on two sheets if you need extra space.
🥡 Storage and Reheating
Keep leftover baked green beans and potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers - green beans tend to get mushy or grainy when frozen.
To reheat, pop the baked green beans and potatoes back in the oven or in the air fryer, or even use them in a frittata or breakfast hash the next morning.
