Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the trimmed green beans on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the green beans with olive oil. Toss them gently to coat every bean evenly.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the beans. Toss again to distribute the seasonings.
- Spread the green beans into a single layer on the baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to promote crisping.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until the beans are tender-crisp and slightly browned.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot green beans. The residual heat will slightly melt the cheese.
- Toss lightly to coat. Serve immediately as an easy side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before roasting.
- If you prefer a softer bean, increase the roasting time by 3 to 5 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
- This recipe is excellent for holiday side recipes, especially Thanksgiving.
