Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Make sure the beans are evenly coated.
- Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and the Parmesan cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately. Enjoy your crack green beans!
Notes
For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave. You can use pre-shredded Parmesan cheese, but freshly grated will have a better flavor and texture. Add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning for a salty, savory twist.
