Bright, bold, and irresistibly flavorful, Sweet & Spicy Roasted Green Beans are a deliciously modern twist on a classic veggie side. This easy, oven-roasted dish brings together fresh green beans, caramelized shallots, creamy feta, and a drizzle of hot honey for a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy in every bite.

The green beans are tossed with thinly sliced shallots, olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roasted at high heat until tender-crisp with slightly charred edges for a rich, roasted flavor. As they cook, the shallots become sweet and golden, adding depth and texture to the dish.

But the magic happens after roasting, when the beans are topped with tangy crumbled feta and finished with a light drizzle of hot honey. The salty cheese and spicy-sweet glaze create a mouthwatering contrast that elevates the entire dish, transforming simple vegetables into a crave-worthy side you’ll want to make repeatedly.

Perfect alongside Social Kitchens Sweet & Spicy Shrimp, these green beans complete the meal with complementary flavors and a satisfying crunch. Whether you’re preparing a quick weeknight dinner or hosting friends for a weekend get-together, this recipe is guaranteed to impress without requiring hours in the kitchen.

Sweet & Spicy Roasted Green Beans are more than just a side, they’re an experience. With minimal ingredients and maximum flavor, this dish proves that simple, fresh food can be anything but boring. Serve it warm, drizzle generously, and enjoy the sweet heat with every forkful.
