Ingredients
Scale
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated recommended)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Ensure your fresh green beans are trimmed at the ends.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the trimmed green beans with the olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well until the green beans are evenly coated.
Step 3: Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This helps them crisp up rather than steam.
Step 4: Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the beans are tender-crisp and slightly blistered. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Step 5: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the green beans. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and crispy, and the beans are nicely tender with a crisp exterior.
Step 6: Carefully remove from the oven and serve immediately. These crispy garlic Parmesan green beans are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
Notes
Leftover green beans can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days, but remember their signature crispness is best right out of the oven!
To bring back some of that amazing crispness, gently warm leftovers in a 350°F oven or an air fryer for a few minutes; microwaving will unfortunately make them lose their crunch.
These savory green beans are a fantastic versatile side dish, pairing perfectly with anything from roasted chicken and grilled fish to a juicy steak or even as a standout vegetable option for a holiday spread.
For an unparalleled crispy, golden cheese crust, always opt for freshly grated Parmesan; it melts and crisps far better than pre-shredded cheese, truly enhancing the 'steal the show' factor.
