Bringing something nutritious and delicious to the dinner table every night of the week isn’t easy. And this is why I like this easy recipe so much.

Ingredients
Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe:
- Fresh green beans. Fresh string beans are the best, but if you have frozen beans on hand, they will work fine.
- Potatoes. Yukon gold potatoes are considered the best for roasting, but I personally prefer little baby potatoes. However, any potatoes will work in this recipe, including red potatoes, russet potatoes, or Dutch creams.
- Extra virgin olive oil.
- Lemon juice. Fresh is the best.
- Spices: garlic powder, sweet paprika, sea salt, and black pepper.

How to roast potatoes with green beans
- Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Peel and cut the potatoes into small bite-sized pieces. If you have fresh potatoes or baby potatoes, keep the skin on. Just make sure you wash the potatoes thoroughly.
- Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, fry Italian herbs (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
5. Add potatoes to the bowl with marinade, and mix well so all potato pieces are covered with spices and oil.
6. Place the potatoes on a baking tray, and distribute them evenly on the tray. Keep the bowl unwashed.
7. Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes.
8. While the potatoes are baking, cut the fresh green beans into 2-3 cm (1 inch) long sticks.

10. After 20 minutes take the tray with potatoes out.

Frequently asked questions
No, 10 minutes will be enough for the beans to cook through. Even if we cook them for a shorter amount of time, they still would be delicious and crispy.
Yes, you absolutely can. If you have leftover cooked potatoes, you can use them in this recipe. Skip the first 20 minutes of roasting and add the green beans together with the potatoes from the beginning and bake for 15 minutes.
If you happen to have nice new potatoes with thin skin, there is no need to peel them. Just make sure to wash them properly with a vegetable brush.
