You will make incredibly flavorful, crisp green beans using this simple roasting method. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight side dish or a standout Thanksgiving side.

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the trimmed green beans in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly.
  3. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss again until the beans are well mixed with the seasonings.
  4. 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.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the green beans.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
