Ingredients
Scale
Green Beans
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
Seasonings and Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for brightness)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it gets hot enough for roasting the green beans to a crispy texture.
- Prepare the green beans: Rinse the fresh green beans under cold water and trim off the stem ends. Pat them dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture for better roasting results.
- Toss with seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss well to coat the green beans evenly with the oil and spices.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on a large baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded so they roast evenly and become crispy.
- Roast the green beans: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking or stirring the beans halfway through to ensure even cooking until they are lightly browned and crispy.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Remove the green beans from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to let the cheese melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Optional finishing touches: Drizzle the roasted green beans with lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve warm: Serve the crispy garlic Parmesan roasted green beans warm as a tasty and satisfying side dish.
Notes
- Make sure green beans are dry before roasting to help them crisp up.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow even roasting.
- Adjust red pepper flakes according to preferred spice level or omit for no heat.
- Parmesan cheese should be freshly grated for best melting and flavor.
- Lemon juice and parsley garnish add freshness but are optional.
