Description
You will love these crispy, flavorful roasted green beans tossed with garlic and Parmesan cheese. This simple recipe makes an irresistible side dish perfect for weeknight dinners or holiday meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the trimmed green beans on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the beans. Toss everything together until the beans are well coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the green beans into a single layer on the baking sheet. This step helps them roast instead of steam.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beans are tender-crisp and slightly browned.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot green beans and toss gently to melt and adhere the cheese.
- Serve your flavorful green beans right away.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can roast the beans for 5 minutes before adding the garlic and oil mixture.
- If you want a Southern-style flavor, add a small amount of crumbled cooked bacon when you add the Parmesan cheese.
- This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
