Description
A simple recipe for roasting fresh green beans with garlic and Parmesan cheese until they are tender-crisp and flavorful.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place the trimmed green beans on a large baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the green beans and toss to coat them evenly.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, and pepper over the beans and toss again.
- Spread the green beans into a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the beans are tender-crisp.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot beans.
- Toss gently to coat and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispness, you can use the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- If you prefer a softer bean texture, increase the roasting time by 3 to 5 minutes.
- You can substitute dried minced garlic for fresh if needed, using 1/2 teaspoon.
