Description
Crispy, golden, and full of flavor — these roasted green beans with garlic and Parmesan make a quick and delicious side dish. Perfectly tender on the inside and lightly crisp on the edges, they pair beautifully with any main course!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 lb (450 g) fresh green beans, trimmed
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup (25 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare Green Beans: In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast: Spread the green beans in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast for 15–18 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly golden.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the roasted green beans with grated Parmesan cheese (and red pepper flakes if using) while still hot.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with extra Parmesan if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end of roasting.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
- Pairs perfectly with steak, chicken, or fish.
- To make it vegan, skip the Parmesan or use a dairy-free alternative.
