Description

Parmesan Roasted Green Beans are a quick and easy side dish featuring fresh green beans coated in olive oil, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese, then roasted until crisp and golden. This crunchy, cheesy vegetable side is packed with fresh flavor and perfect for pairing with a variety of main dishes, offering a nutritious and versatile addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and dried

Seasonings & Coating

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse fresh green beans under cold water and trim off the ends for a neat bite. Pat them dry thoroughly to ensure they roast properly and crisp up nicely instead of steaming in the oven.
  2. Toss with Olive Oil and Seasoning: In a large bowl, drizzle the green beans with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything gently until each bean is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil for maximum flavor.
  3. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the beans and give a light toss to distribute the cheese. This layer will crisp during roasting, creating that signature crispy cheesy crust.
  4. Roast Until Perfect: Spread the green beans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the beans are tender and edges are golden and crispy.
  5. Add Final Touches: Optional but recommended: Sprinkle fresh lemon zest over the roasted green beans for a bright, fresh finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm green beans for the best texture and flavor.
  • Dry the beans thoroughly before roasting to avoid steaming and ensure crispiness.
  • Grate your own Parmesan cheese for superior melting and crisping compared to pre-shredded.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow even roasting and browning.
  • Keep an eye on the oven as roasting times may vary; prevents burning.
  • Optional variations: add red pepper flakes for heat, fresh herbs for flavor, or nuts for extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat gently to maintain crispness.
