Description
This simple side dish turns fresh green beans into crispy, garlicky, cheesy bites that are anything but boring. A quick roast with olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan gives them a golden edge and irresistible crunch.
Ingredients
1½ lbs fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Optional: ¼ tsp red pepper flakes, lemon zest, or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
In a bowl, toss green beans with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on the sheet.
Roast for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway, until beans are tender and lightly crisp.
Sprinkle with Parmesan and roast for 3–5 more minutes until cheese is golden.
Serve immediately with optional lemon zest or red pepper flakes.
