- Lower the heat to 400F and take the green beans out of the oven.

Notes
Small oven: If your sheet or oven is small, I recommend roasting the green beans in two batches to make sure they roast and not steam.
Garnish: You can also serve the green beans with fresh parsley or chives if you don’t have green onion.
Storing and reheating: Store the roasted green beans in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a small saucepan on the stove or in the oven at 300F.
