Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Green Beans: Wash and trim the green beans. Snap off the ends if you haven’t already.
- Toss with Oil and Garlic: In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil and minced garlic. Make sure the green beans are evenly coated.
- Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t overcrowded, as this will help them roast and get crispy rather than steam.
- Roast: Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and slightly browned.
- Add Parmesan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the green beans.
- Return to Oven (Optional): If you want the Parmesan cheese to be a bit more melted and golden, you can return the baking sheet to the oven for another 2-3 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Fresh Herbs: Add some fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano to the green beans along with the garlic.
- Red Pepper Flakes: For a little heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the green beans before roasting.
- Lemon Juice: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting adds a bright and fresh flavor.
- Other Vegetables: You can roast other vegetables along with the green beans, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus. Adjust cooking times as needed.
- Toasted Almonds: Sprinkle some toasted slivered almonds over the green beans for added texture and flavor.
- Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the roasted green beans just before serving for a touch of sweetness and acidity.
