Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why flip the green beans while cooking?
- Flipping ensures even roasting and helps all sides get tender and slightly crispy.
- → Can I use frozen green beans?
- Fresh green beans are recommended as they'll get crispier. Frozen beans may become too soft and watery.
- → Why use such a high temperature?
- 425°F helps achieve tender beans with nice caramelization while keeping the cooking time short.
- → How do I know when they're done?
- The green beans should be tender when pierced with a fork and lightly browned in spots.
- → Should I wash the beans first?
- Yes, wash and thoroughly dry the beans before trimming. Excess moisture will prevent proper roasting.
