Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and washed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Green Beans: Begin by washing the green beans thoroughly and trimming both ends. Pat them dry completely to ensure they roast nicely without steaming.
  2. Season the Beans: In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated. This seasoning base will bring out the beans’ natural flavor and prepare them for roasting.
  3. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans, tossing gently to combine. The cheese will melt and crisp up during roasting, creating that irresistible golden layer.
  4. Roast in the Oven: Spread the green beans evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning.
  5. Serve Immediately: Once roasted to a crisp, golden perfection, transfer the Parmesan Roasted Green Beans to a serving dish. Enjoy them warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Dry thoroughly: Moisture prevents beans from crisping up, so make sure they are completely dry before roasting.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Spread green beans in a single layer to allow hot air to circulate and crisp evenly.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan: Freshly grated cheese melts and crisps much better than pre-shredded varieties.
  • Adjust roasting time: Keep an eye on the beans especially if they’re thinner or thicker to avoid burning or undercooking.
  • Toss halfway through: Stirring ensures even browning and prevents sticking.
