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 (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the trimmed green beans in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the green beans with olive oil. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the beans are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for crispier results.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot green beans.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the beans are tender-crisp.
- Serve these flavorful green beans immediately as a quick side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add 2 slices of crumbled cooked bacon when you add the Parmesan cheese.
- If you prefer softer beans, increase the initial roasting time by 5 minutes.
- This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
