Can I use frozen green beans for this recipe?
Fresh green beans work best for roasting because they stay crisp. If using frozen, thaw and pat them dry thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
How do I know when the green beans are done roasting?
The green beans should be tender when pierced with a fork and the topping should be golden and crisp. Depending on your oven, roasting time may vary slightly between 15 and 20 minutes.
