• 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix (or 2 tbsp homemade blend)
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Salt to taste (if using unsalted ranch mix)
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
• Optional: ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Tools You’ll Need

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper or foil (for easy cleanup)
• Tongs or spatula
• Knife and cutting board

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prep the Vegetables
Wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on size.
Trim the ends off the green beans if using fresh.
Pat dry to ensure a crisp roast.

Step 3: Season Everything
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes and green beans with olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Make sure everything is evenly coated with the seasoning.

Step 4: Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place potatoes cut side down for better crisping.
If your baking sheet is crowded, use two trays to avoid steaming.

Step 5: Roast Until Golden
Roast for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until potatoes are golden and fork-tender and green beans are slightly crispy and blistered.

Step 6: Finish & Serve
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan if desired.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Tips for Perfect Ranch Green Beans & Potatoes
Cut Evenly – Uniform potato sizes ensure even roasting.
Use High Heat – Roasting at 425°F gives you that crispy finish.
Dry Veggies – Excess moisture prevents crisping, so pat them dry well.
Toss Well – Even coating of oil and seasoning ensures max flavor.
Add Cheese – A sprinkle of Parmesan adds a rich, salty finish.

Serving Suggestions
Pair with Grilled Chicken – The ranch flavor complements smoky, grilled meats.
Serve with Meatloaf or Roast Beef – A hearty, balanced side.
Holiday Favorite – A great alternative to green bean casserole.
Add a Protein – Toss in cooked chicken sausage or turkey for a one-pan meal.
Brunch Ready – Serve alongside scrambled eggs or a savory breakfast bake.
