Ingredients
- Green beans: 1 pound, trimmed
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Grated Parmesan cheese: 1/4 cup
- Garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- Red pepper flakes: 1/8 teaspoon (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the green beans with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Step 3: Spread the green beans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Step 4: Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and slightly browned.
- Step 5: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the green beans.
- Step 6: Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese is melted and slightly golden. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store leftover roasted green beans in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, spread the green beans on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes, or until heated through.
- These green beans are delicious served alongside grilled chicken or fish for a simple and flavorful meal.
- For extra crispy Parmesan, broil the green beans for the last minute of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning!
