• 1 lb fresh green beans (trimmed)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Tools You’ll Need
• Large baking sheet or skillet
• Mixing bowl
• Measuring spoons
• Spatula or wooden spoon
• Parchment paper (if roasting)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
If roasting, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prep the Potatoes
Place the halved baby potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with half of the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Toss well to coat.

Step 3: Roast the Potatoes
Spread the seasoned potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the oven for 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

Step 4: Prep the Green Beans
While the potatoes roast, toss the green beans with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and ranch seasoning in the same mixing bowl.
Let them sit and soak up the flavors.

Step 5: Add Green Beans to the Pan
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Add the green beans to the sheet with the potatoes and toss everything gently.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are golden and fork-tender and green beans are crisp-tender.

Step 6: Finish & Garnish
Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (if using).
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.

Tips for Perfect Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes
Cut Evenly – Make sure potatoes are uniform in size so they cook evenly.
Don’t Overcrowd – Spread the vegetables out on the baking sheet to allow for even roasting.
Adjust Seasoning – Taste before serving and sprinkle with more ranch seasoning if you love that extra flavor punch.
Use Fresh Green Beans – They’ll hold their texture and color better than canned or frozen.

Serving Suggestions
• Serve with grilled chicken, steak, or baked fish for a complete meal.
• Add crumbled cooked turkey bacon or sautéed mushrooms for extra texture and taste.
• Turn it into a bowl meal with quinoa or rice and a drizzle of lemon yogurt sauce.
