Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs like parsley or thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Thoroughly dry the trimmed green beans with a clean kitchen towel.
  3. In a large bowl, toss green beans with olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through, until beans begin to shrivel and develop brown spots.
  6. Remove from oven and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the beans.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for another 5 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
  8. Transfer immediately to a serving dish and season with additional salt if needed.
  9. Optionally garnish with lemon zest or fresh herbs before serving hot.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan rather than pre-packaged varieties.
  • Make sure to thoroughly dry the beans after washing to ensure proper browning.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan – use two baking sheets if necessary.
  • These beans are best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary based on ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods.
