Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the fresh green beans thoroughly under cold running water, then trim off the tough ends using a sharp knife.
- Pat the green beans completely dry using clean paper towels to ensure they will roast and crisp properly.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place the trimmed green beans in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil, ensuring each bean is evenly coated.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the green beans, then toss gently to distribute the seasonings uniformly.
- Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking and slight caramelization.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot green beans.
- Let the green beans rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to slightly melt and adhere to the beans.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Make sure to dry the green beans thoroughly after washing to achieve the ultimate crispy texture. Preheat your oven to the specified temperature before roasting the green beans to guarantee even cooking and caramelization. Toss the green beans in olive oil gently to ensure each bean is coated, promoting optimal roasting results. Spread the green beans in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving enough space for proper roasting and crisping. Keep an eye on the green beans as they roast, as ovens may vary in temperature. Shake the pan halfway through for even cooking and slight caramelization. For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese, as it will melt more evenly and adhere better to the green beans.
