Roasting green beans in the oven is our go-to method to cook them, as it brings out their natural sweetness and is a hands-off way to prepare them. In this version, they're roasted until they're browned and nicely caramelized, which should take about 20 minutes. While that's happening, the roasted red peppers are puréed with salt, garlic, and smoked paprika in a food processor or blender to form the sauce that's poured over the perfectly cooked beans. Just make sure you buy jarred roasted red peppers packed in water, not oil. We love the vibrant red hue and punch of flavor you get from the sauce that contrasts beautifully with the green beans.
