Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and washed
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: Start by washing and trimming the ends off your green beans, ensuring they are completely dry to help the olive oil and Parmesan stick better and result in crispier beans.
  2. Toss with Oil and Seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, drizzle olive oil over the green beans. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, pepper, and if desired, red pepper flakes. Toss everything together until the beans are evenly coated.
  3. Add the Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans and toss lightly to evenly distribute it so the cheese will create a crispy crust when baked.
  4. Arrange and Roast: Spread the beans out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.
  5. Serve Warm: Once the cheese is golden and the beans are tender-crisp, remove from the oven and serve immediately to enjoy maximum crunch and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure green beans are completely dry before tossing to prevent soggy results.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper roasting and even crisping.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and crispiness compared to pre-shredded cheese.
  • Flip the beans halfway through roasting to promote even cooking and browning.
  • Customize seasonings to your taste; add fresh herbs, nuts, or spices as desired.
