Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds green beans (fresh & trimmed)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare the Green Beans: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with the olive oil until evenly coated. Then sprinkle on the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure every bean is covered with the flavorful mixture.
  3. Roast the Green Beans: Spread the coated green beans out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes.
  4. Flip and Continue Roasting: After 15 minutes, use a spatula to flip the green beans to ensure even cooking and crisping. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting for another 10 minutes or until the beans are tender and the cheese is golden and crispy.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the green beans from the oven and serve immediately while warm and flavorful. These make a great side dish alongside any favorite main course.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the green beans for 1-2 minutes at the end, but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy kick.
  • This recipe works well with either trimmed fresh green beans or frozen green beans that have been thawed and patted dry.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
