Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven and prepare the green beans: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse your green beans thoroughly and pat them dry. Trim the ends off the beans for a clean bite.
  2. Toss with oil and seasoning: In a large bowl, drizzle the green beans with extra virgin olive oil. Add garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, then toss well to ensure each bean is evenly coated.
  3. Spread in a single layer: Arrange the green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Spreading them out helps them roast evenly and develop that signature crisp.
  4. Roast until tender and crispy: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the green beans for about 15-20 minutes. At the halfway point, toss or flip the beans to ensure even cooking.
  5. Add Parmesan cheese and finish roasting: Remove the beans from the oven, sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan, then return to the oven for an additional 3-5 minutes. This step allows the cheese to melt and form a golden crust.

Notes

  • Use fresh green beans: Choose firm, bright green beans without blemishes for the best texture and flavor.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan: Spread beans apart to ensure they roast instead of steam.
  • Grate your own Parmesan: Freshly grated cheese melts better and offers superior flavor over pre-shredded varieties.
  • Adjust roasting time: Keep an eye on the beans in the last few minutes to avoid burning the Parmesan.
  • Add herbs at the end: To keep their brightness, sprinkle fresh herbs after roasting.
