Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and dried
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature allows the green beans to roast quickly for a perfect crispy texture and helps the Parmesan cheese brown beautifully.
  2. Prepare the Green Beans: Rinse the fresh green beans thoroughly and trim off the ends. Make sure to dry them completely using paper towels or a clean kitchen towel to ensure crispiness during roasting. Place the green beans into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Toss with Olive Oil and Seasonings: Drizzle the olive oil over the green beans. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly. Toss everything well to coat each bean thoroughly, making sure the oil and seasonings cling well to all surfaces.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Generously sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the green beans. Toss lightly again to distribute the cheese evenly without oversaturating the beans.
  5. Roast Until Crispy: Spread the green beans out in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping the beans halfway through to promote even browning and crispiness.
  6. Serve Immediately: Remove the beans from the oven. If desired, add a sprinkle of fresh lemon zest or extra Parmesan for enhanced flavor. Serve warm as a delicious snack or side dish.

Notes

  • Dry green beans thoroughly before roasting to avoid steaming and achieve crispiness.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best melting and flavor.
  • Spread beans in a single layer without overcrowding to allow even roasting.
  • Flip the beans halfway through roasting for even browning.
  • Watch the oven near the end to prevent the cheese from burning while ensuring the beans are perfectly crispy.
