- 6 slices bacon chopped
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and trim the green beans and halve the baby potatoes.
- Cook the Bacon In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pan.
- Sauté the Potatoes Add olive oil to the skillet, then toss in the baby potatoes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- Add Green Beans & Seasoning Stir in the green beans and sprinkle with ranch seasoning. Toss to evenly coat.
- Bake to Perfection Transfer everything to a baking dish, top with crispy bacon, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the green beans are perfectly roasted.
- Garnish & Serve Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy!
Notes
- Smokier Flavor? Use smoked bacon for an extra depth of taste.
- Spicy Kick? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
- Vegetarian Option? Skip the bacon and use smoked paprika for a similar taste.
- Extra Veggies? Toss in sliced onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms for more variety.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Par-cook the potatoes and green beans, then roast before serving.
