These Garlic Parmesan Roasted Green Beans are a simple yet flavorful side dish that pairs well with almost any meal. Crisp-tender green beans are tossed with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and a touch of seasoning, then roasted to perfection for a healthy and delicious addition to your table.

Ingredients

Scale

(Serves 4-6)

  • 1 lb (450 g) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Green Beans:

  1. Place the trimmed green beans in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Add the minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until the green beans are well coated.

3. Arrange on the Baking Sheet:

  1. Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.

4. Roast the Green Beans:

  1. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

5. Serve:

  1. Transfer the roasted green beans to a serving dish.
  2. Sprinkle with a bit of extra Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Crispier Texture: For crispier green beans, broil them for the last 1-2 minutes of roasting.
  • Add Zest: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving brightens the flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or on the stovetop to maintain texture.
