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
- 1/2 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 in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss again until the beans are well mixed with the seasonings.
- 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 15 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the green beans.
- Return the beans to the oven and roast for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp and the Parmesan is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add 2 slices of crumbled cooked bacon when you add the Parmesan cheese.
- If you prefer a softer bean, 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.
