❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Green Beans and Potatoes
1. Can I use frozen green beans for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen green beans. Just thaw them first and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps them roast better and not become soggy.
2. What kind of potatoes work best?
Baby potatoes or new potatoes work best because they are small and cook quickly. You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes cut into small chunks. Avoid starchy potatoes like russets as they can fall apart.
3. Can I make this dish ahead of time?
This dish is best served fresh from the oven. You can prep the vegetables and toss them with oil and seasonings a few hours ahead, but wait to roast them until you are ready to eat.
4. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or in a skillet to help the vegetables crisp up again.
5. Can I add other vegetables to this recipe?
Absolutely. Cherry tomatoes, sliced carrots, or red onion wedges all roast well with green beans and potatoes. Just keep the pieces similar in size for even cooking.
