Substitutions and variations
- Herbs – Top these roasted brussel sprouts and green beans with some fresh herbs like chopped parsley, sage or thyme.
- Spicy – I love to add a little chili flakes for a hint of heat. If you like a spicier dish, add more chili flakes, or top with a little extra chopped fresh chili.
- Oil – Instead of olive oil, avocado oil is a great alternative or butter also works.
- Cheese – add a little shredded parmesan cheese bake with the brussel sprouts and green beans for the last 5 minutes for some extra crispy and cheesy topping.

Storage
Store any leftover roasted brussels sprouts and green beans in an airtight container in the fridge, for about to 4-5 days. They won’t be as crispy as when they first come out of the oven, but still taste delicious. The roasted green beans can also be frozen for about 4 months.

Top Tip
In this recipe I have keep the green beans long, because they roast a little faster than the Brussel sprouts. If you want to cut them in half lengthwise, you can. They will become a little softer then if roasting them whole.
FAQ
No, in this recipe they are roasted raw with the green beans to crispy on the outside, with a soft interior.
For crispy brussel sprouts, make sure the oven is hot enough and that they roast for enough time. Stir well once, to make sure the veggies roast evenly and don’t crowd the baking sheet.
