Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the trimmed green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the green beans out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the green beans.
- Roast for 15–18 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the Parmesan is golden and crisp.
- Optional: Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest or a pinch of red pepper flakes before serving for an extra pop of flavor.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture—it melts and crisps better than pre-grated varieties.
- For even crispier beans, broil them for the last 1–2 minutes of roasting, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.
