Top Tips

Don’t over-roast the beans. the key to roasted beans is to roast them on high heat and not for too long. Every oven is different so be sure to check them throughout the bake time.

Make them spicy. If you want to add a bit of spice to your beans toss them with some red pepper flakes for some heat.

Add some cheese. We love to add a bit of crumbled feta cheese or grated parmesan to add a salty and creamy bite.
