Something I like to have in the house at all times, are a few healthy and delicious sides that I can serve up to the family throughout the week. This is my new favorite side. I throw it over a green salad with a splash of balsamic and I’m good to go. It’s easy to make and comes out prefect every time. I love the addition of nutritional yeast in there for the flavor and the nutritional benefits. I gave the option in the recipe for folks that use oil in their cooking – but of course you don’t need to add it – the veggie stock does the trick just fine. Diced shallots and/or chopped walnuts are a nice addition to this side as well.
You cannot go wrong with roasting veggies in my opinion and a little maple syrup makes this side slighty sweet and oh so yummy. This makes everyone in my household very happy.
- 1 lb string beans, trimmed and washed
- 2 tbsp no salt added vegetable stock
- 1 tbsp rosemary
- 1 tsp date syrup or pure maple syrup
- 1½ tsp nutritional yeast
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1 tsp healthy oil like avocado (optional)
- pinch onion powder
- fresh black pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Toss the beans with remaining ingredients in a medium-sized bowl.
- Place string beans on non-stick baking pan.
- Roast in oven for 15-20 minutes or until beans are tender and slightly browned in spots, turning once.
- Serve.
Enjoy!

Thanks for this! I eat a ton of string beans in the summer, and always looking for a new recipe!
Hi Barb these are definitely worth a try =)
Yum! Looks and sounds good! We made a pan of string beans on the grill last weekend…mixed them w/whole garlic cloves, soy sauce, butter, and spices. Obviously the butter can be omitted. 😉 Keep up the good work!
Oh, yummy! I love veggies on the grill =)
