Since we grew green beans in the garden this summer, roasted green beans quickly became a favorite side dish.  These green beans are so good...I have seen my kids eat them like French fries.  Plus they are really easy to make, you can get this dish on the table in 30 minutes or less.  

We planted three rows of beans on cattle panels and were amazed at the abundant, continuous crop for several months.  We ​enjoyed lots of green beans, sold some at the farm stand, and froze several quarts for winter.  

Can you use frozen green beans?

Yes, you can substitute frozen beans instead.  I have made them with fresh green beans and frozen green beans and they are delicious either way.  Frozen green beans help make a really fast weeknight side dish.  

Can you use canned minced garlic instead of fresh?

You could use canned minced garlic from the store, but I wouldn't use it here.  I keep a jar in the fridge for convenience, but I think fresh roasted garlic is so much better in this dish.  The aroma and flavor of fresh garlic is far superior to jarred minced garlic when roasted.  In fact, you could add more than one clove if you like for even more of that yummy fresh roasted garlic flavor.
