Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed and thoroughly dried
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Green Beans: Wash the fresh green beans thoroughly and trim off the ends. Dry them completely to ensure even roasting and achieve a perfect crispiness.
  2. Season the Beans: Place the green beans in a large bowl. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over them. Toss well to evenly coat each bean with the seasoning.
  3. Roast the Green Beans: Spread the beans in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through to promote even browning.
  4. Add Parmesan: Once beans are tender and slightly charred, remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top. The residual heat will melt the cheese, creating a crispy coating.
  5. Final Touches and Serve: If using, sprinkle red pepper flakes now for a subtle heat. Toss gently to distribute melted cheese and seasonings evenly, then plate and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use the freshest green beans possible for maximum crunch and flavor.
  • Ensure beans are completely dry before roasting to avoid sogginess.
  • Roast at a high temperature (425°F) to achieve caramelization and crispiness.
  • Spread beans out evenly without overcrowding the baking sheet for uniform roasting.
  • Add Parmesan right after roasting to melt perfectly without burning.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
  • Freezing is not recommended as it affects the crispiness.
