Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast green beans to crispy perfection.
  2. Prepare the green beans: Wash and trim the ends of fresh green beans, making sure they’re dry before moving on—that dryness is key to getting crisp edges.
  3. Toss with oil and seasoning: In a large bowl, coat the green beans evenly with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to build the base flavor.
  4. Roast the green beans: Spread the green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  5. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the beans during the last 5 minutes of roasting so the cheese melts and crisps without burning.
  6. Serve warm: Remove from the oven once the cheese is golden and slightly crispy. Serve these Parmesan Roasted Green Beans right away for maximum flavor impact.

Notes

  • Dry your beans well to prevent moisture that prevents crisping.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; give beans space to roast properly and brown evenly.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting and vibrant taste.
  • Add Parmesan towards the end of roasting to avoid burning or drying it out.
  • Customize seasoning with extra herbs, spices, or a squeeze of lemon juice after baking.
