Oven Roasted green beans with rojo chimichurri is such an amazing way to make green beans. To me, I find green beans to be quite bland and uninteresting but not with this recipe. It is basically roasted green beans with garlic and so many other delicious flavors.
Adding a Rojo chimichurri sauce to the green beans and then roasting them in the oven completely changes how I feel about green beans. It has me loving green beans for the first time in a long time.
If you are not familiar with rojo chimichurri, it is a close cousin to the green chimichurri sauce that everyone loves. It has some tomato added to the sauce and a few other little additions that the green chimichurri does not have.

It is really a delicious sauce that goes on to just about anything from meats to vegetables. You can see from the ingredients list that it is going to be loaded with tons of flavor.
Once you have made your sauce the steps to the dish are very simple. Actually, including the time it takes to make the sauce, this whole side dish is very simple.
