Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why turn the beans in the oven?
- Turning lets all sides cook evenly, making the beans more crispy and caramelized.
- → Can I roast frozen beans?
- Fresh is better for crispy texture, as frozen ones might turn out too soft or soggy.
- → Why heat the oven to 425°F?
- That temp caramelizes the beans beautifully while keeping them tender inside, and it’s faster!
- → How do I check if they’re fully roasted?
- Use a fork—beans should feel soft but not mushy. A little browning on the edges means perfection.
- → Do I rinse the beans beforehand?
- Absolutely. Clean and dry them really well after washing so they roast instead of steam.
