Description
This roasted green beans recipe is simple and makes a delicious side dish, enhanced with Parmesan cheese and garlic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is crucial for crispy beans.
- Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the green beans under cold water and trim the ends. Make sure to dry them thoroughly with a kitchen towel; moisture can prevent crispiness.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the green beans, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss well until the beans are evenly coated.
- Cheese It Up: Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl and toss again, ensuring the beans are well coated with cheese.
- Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Spread the beans out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps with even roasting and easy cleanup.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes. Halfway through, give the beans a shake to ensure even cooking.
- Check for Crispiness: The beans should be tender and crispy at the ends. If they need more time, roast for an additional 5 minutes or until they reach your desired crispiness.
- Serve: Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve immediately for the best texture!
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
- Serve hot for the best texture and taste.
