With two kiddos to chase and a full plate of family activities, lunch can be the hardest meal for me to make healthier choices. It’s just a lot easier to snack on the kids meals or make something less than stellar because it is easy and quick.
Which is why when time is short I like to lean on convenience foods, like Lean Cuisine.
This recipe for garlic roasted green beans and mushrooms is almost as simple and quick as heating a Lean Cuisine, so it’s wonderful to round out my lunch or dinner with some delicious roasted veggies that are a snap to make!
I love the flavor of roasted vegetables! You can get fancy with lots of different kinds of spices, but really the garlic, salt, and pepper can’t be beat.
I’m a bit of a salt and pepper snob thanks to my husband. We like to freshly grind ours from Himalayan Pink Salt and Tricolor Peppercorn. Both using my “exotic” salt and pepper and fresh, minced garlic helps to elevate this simple dish to high flavor deliciousness!

What are the health benefits of green beans?
I’m so glad you asked! I grew up eating green beans often, but was glad to find my mama wasn’t wrong and there are lots of reasons to eat your green beans!
“According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, these delicious and crunchy beans are low in calories and fat and contain no cholesterol. [2] The fiber content is high, and these beans also provide some of the daily protein requirements.
They also act as an easy source for acquiring vitamins like vitamin A, C, K, B6, and folic acid. In terms of minerals, green beans are a good source of calcium, silicon, iron, manganese, potassium, and copper.” Source
What are the health benefits of mushrooms?
Mushrooms are one of those dividing line vegetables. Some people love them and some people hate them.
But there is plenty to love here! Most mushrooms are full of antioxidants, fiber, and nutrients like potassium and B vitamins. They are also low calorie, fat-free, cholesterol-free and low sodium! Source
What other benefits are there in this recipe’s ingredients?
Olive oil is packed with heart-healthy fats and anti-oxidants that can fight chronic diseases and inflammation. Source
Garlic is a healing tool used for centuries and has been linked to many health benefits, besides just adding a ton of delicious flavor to any dish it’s in!

I recently took advantage of a great deal going on for Lean Cuisine at Target where you can find Lean Cuisine for $1.99 (normally they are $3!). I love pairing a quick veggie side dish like this with a convenience food item!
You can find them in the freezer section and let me tell you, I stocked up. And then stocked up again because I ate them before I could photograph them all! (#bloggerfail #butiwashungry)

I just made this tonight with dinner and it was so good! What a great way to do green beans.
Glad you liked them Tiffany!!
So easy and a big hit with my family! Will definitely make this over and over again.
So glad you enjoyed it! One of my favorites!
Do you have to boil the green beans first or if you just bake them will they come out soft?
If they are fresh they will come out cooked, but not the same soft as they would be if they were boiled. The texture of roasted veggies is just a little different.
Can I use frozen green beans?
Becky, I have not done this with frozen green beans, just fresh. Maybe defrost and drain them and give it a try! Would love to know how they turn out for you!
This looks so delicious, I can’t wait to try it. Can you substitute asparagus for the green beans? I think that would be Yummy too.
Yes! I definitely think using the same process with asparagus would be great! I have a similar recipe actually that uses asparagus and red peppers: https://chasingvibrance.com/2016/05/26/garlic-roasted-asparagus-red-pepper/
So delicious and simple. I’ve made this recipe several times since I first saw it a few weeks ago on Pinterest. It’s become one of my new staples and and I can easily grab all of the ingredients at Trader Joe’s. Even my kids like It!
Oh Ene! That makes me so happy to hear! 😀
Often search for new way to cook our vegetables.
This is on menu for tomorrow’s evening vegetable dish. Can almost smell its garlic/mushroom aroma.
Hope you enjoy!
Hey Kate, green beans and mushrooms are my favorite. I’m sure combination will be amazing, thanks for the awesome dich..
Love this! I love oven roasted mushrooms. Will use this as my veggie side with my honey balsamic pork child and whipped potatoes tonight!
Delicious!!
This was delicious. Added a little chopped pimento for more color. Definitely a keeper!
what a brilliant combination. we tried this and it was the most delicious thing ever tasted. thanks for sharing.
Oh wow! What a compliment! So glad you and your family enjoyed them! 😀
I made this dish for Thanksgiving meal with the family. It came out so good! Simple recipe and so full of flavor! Got a few compliments for it too. (Thanks Kate!) I added more garlic and left it in the oven longer than stated to get a good roast. It was a little salty for me, but by the suggestion of my niece, mixed the leftovers with orzo pasta and a little olive oil and it was perfect!
Yum! That sounds great!
Made these last night! Yumm! Going in the recipe box. A nice break from the Southern simmered for hours green beans of my childhood.
Glad you enjoyed them!
I made this once and it was too salty for me and I love salt. Going to try this again tonight with a little less salt. These are my two favorite veggies so I hope this works.
Definitely use less salt if that is your preference! Hope you enjoy it!
This looks so yummy, perfect side dish idea! ????
Will definitely make again but with a lot less salt. 1/2 tsp should be plenty.
Amazing dish
Glad you enjoyed it Sarita!
A+++. I got a little mixed up and bought asparagus by accident but went ahead and made this recipe with asparagus and baby bell mushrooms. WOW. It was delicious. I can hardly wait to get some string beans. But seriously, this was sooo good. Will have to double the recipe next time – everyone scrambled for seconds. Thank you
Aw man, I am SO happy to hear this! Glad your family loved it and even with the asparagus it was a hit!
I made this tonight to go with some broiled salmon and rice blend. It was so delicious! It’s definitely going in my recipe book.
Used onions instead of mushrooms. Still yummy. Hubbie dosent like mushrooms
I was actually just going to ask what a good substitute for the mushrooms would be!? Onions are definitely one of my favorites. I’m wondering if onions and a red bell pepper would be good too? Any other suggestions for substitutions other than mushrooms??
Thanks! Can’t wait to try this (obviously without the mushrooms!????)

How bout yawing canned green beans.
I’m not sure how it would do with canned green beans. Please let us know how they turned out if you give it a try!
I love this recipe! I’ve made it several times, with both white buttons and baby bellas. After the first couple of times, I started parboiling the green beans so they end up more tender. Delish!
So glad you love it Barbara!
Anyone know how this will do on a lower temp? I have a meatloaf in the oven at 350 and want to make these at the same time
Here’s a resource for you Cyndi! http://www.vegetablegardener.com/item/3573/roasting-vegetables-to-perfection/page/all
Hello. What type of mushrooms were used in the picture provided?
Just white mushrooms!
Did you snap the beans in half or leave them whole?
I have done both! Totally your preference!
