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
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the trimmed green beans on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the green beans. Toss them gently to coat every bean evenly.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the beans. Toss again until the seasonings adhere well.
- 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 pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot green beans. Toss quickly to melt the cheese slightly.
- Serve these roasted green beans immediately as your best side dish for dinner.
Notes
- For extra crispy green beans, increase the roasting time by 3 to 5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- If you want a bright flavor, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest when you add the Parmesan cheese.
- This recipe is a great alternative to heavy Thanksgiving side dishes.
