Yes, but people prefer a method that agitates the bean throughout the roast to prevent scorching. The pan side of the been will burn in the oven. You can do it in a pan too, you just have to continuously stir the beans. Even this method results in some scorching though.

A constant tumbling is preferred to achieve a consistent roast.

Agreed, I have seen it done in the oven once. It was a total failure.
